Shahrazad Quotes

“Joy is much sweeter for having known sorrow”

“For surely a king is first a man. And so it must follow that a king does as all men do: the best he can.”

“A story can fly like a bee, so straight and swift you catch only the hum of its passing. Or move so slowly it seems motionless, curled in upon itself like a snake in the sun. It can vanish like smoke before the wind. Linger like perfume in the nose. Change with every telling, yet always remain the same.”
