Text Quotes
Conventional forms of narrative allow for different points of view, but for this book I wanted a structure whereby each of the main characters contributed a distinctive version of the story  (Narrative Quotes) I was a narrative historian, believing more and more as I matured that the first function of the historian was to answer the child's question, What happened next?  (Narrative Quotes) The chief character in this narrative is the Caribbean Sea, one of the world's most alluring bodies of water, a rare gem among the oceans, defined by the islands that form a chain of lovely jewels to the north and east  (Narrative Quotes) In art, scandal is a false narrative, a smoke screen that camouflages rather than reveals. When we don't know what we're seeing, we overreact  (Narrative Quotes) The decision to write in prose instead of poetry is made more by the readers than by writers. Almost no one is interested in reading narrative in verse  (Narrative Quotes) I guess maybe I try to make movies that are closer to real life than are many Hollywood movies. But I still try to stay within a commercial narrative, a contemporary American vernacular  (Narrative Quotes) I think many people need, even require, a narrative version of their life. I seem to be one of them. Writing memoir is, in some ways, a work of wholeness  (Narrative Quotes) All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It’s scary  (Narrative Quotes) Any long work in which poetry is persistent, be it epic or drama or narrative, is really a succession of separate poetic experiences governed into a related whole by an energy distinct from that which evoked them  (Narrative Quotes) I do insist on making what I hope is sense so there’s always a coherent narrative or argument that the reader can follow  (Narrative Quotes) I think that narrative, fiction filmmaking is the culmination of several art forms: theater, art history, architecture. Whereas doc filmmaking is more pure cinema, like cinema verite is film in its purest form  (Narrative Quotes) In my opinion, the most significant works of the twentieth century are those that rise beyond the conceptual tyranny of genre; they are, at the same time, poetry, criticism, narrative, drama, etc  (Narrative Quotes) There’s a logic to dreams that doesn’t necessarily follow linear narrative. You don’t know why things happen, it’s your subconscious pushing you, to give you information  (Narrative Quotes) First person narrative is a very effective tool but you have to know as a writer how to make it work  (Narrative Quotes) The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn’t imagine ourselves through a day without it  (Narrative Quotes) Narrative identity takes part in the story’s movement, in the dialectic between order and disorder  (Narrative Quotes) I used my instincts. It’s very easy to imagine how you’d feel, actually. I just had to tell the narrative  (Narrative Quotes) Well, if storytelling is important, then your narrative ability, or your ability to put into words or use what someone else has put into words effectively, is important too  (Narrative Quotes) The trite answer is that everything is true but none of it happened. It is emotionally true, but the events, the plotting, the narrative, isn’t true of my life, though I’ve experienced most of the emotions experienced by the characters in the play  (Narrative Quotes) What gets left out is the narrative between the bullets, which would tell us who’s going to do what and how we’re going to achieve the generic goals on the list  (Narrative Quotes) It’s probably why I’m a short story writer. I tend to remember things in the past in narrative form, in story form, and I grew up around people who told stories all the time  (Narrative Quotes) Any time you write history, you insert your opinion. You pick and choose what you are going to write about. I feel really happy not inserting myself. I spend too much of my life inserting myself. It’s just great to let other people carry the narrative  (Narrative Quotes) At the heart of every faith system is a bargain: on one side there is the comfort that comes from a narrative that suggests human life has cosmic significance, and on the other a duty to yield to moral commands that can, in the moment, seem rather inconvenient  (Narrative Quotes) My idea in terms of managing a narrative, or in thinking in my creative life, is that you could easily argue that the past, the present and the future all occur simultaneously, and if you can postulate that, then you’re not strictly bound to a linear narrative  (Narrative Quotes) As a reader, I notice political views regardless of whether or not the book is fiction. What annoys me is when said views do nothing to advance the narrative  (Narrative Quotes) If you have a good story idea, don’t assume it must form a prose narrative. It may work better as a play, a screenplay or a poem. Be flexible  (Narrative Quotes) For myself, the only way I know how to make a book is to construct it like a collage: a bit of dialogue here, a scrap of narrative, an isolated description of a common object, an elaborate running metaphor which threads between the sequences and holds different narrative lines together  (Narrative Quotes) If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you’re turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book  (Narrative Quotes) I have loved football as an almost mythic game since I was in the fourth grade. To me, the game wasn’t even grounded in reality. The uniform turned you into a warrior. Being on a team, the mythology of physical combat, the struggle against the elements, the narrative of the game  (Narrative Quotes) It’s a wonderful narrative device to bring someone from the outside and look through his eyes if you want to describe the absurdity and preposterous reality that is accepted amongst the ones who are inside  (Narrative Quotes)
