Retelling Quotes

I’ve never had any interest in retelling stories from my youth Picture Quote #1

No matter what you write, you actually can’t help retelling a fairy tale somewhere along the way Picture Quote #1

I also felt The Kite Runner was a story that would lend itself well to a visual retelling in a graphic novel Picture Quote #1

It’s exhausting writing nonfiction, particularly when it’s personal. It’s tiring, always speaking about things that are not necessarily fun retelling Picture Quote #1

It’s strange how memory gets twisted and pulled like taffy in its retelling, how a single event can mean something different to everyone present Picture Quote #1

Once you understand that Goliath is much weaker than you think he is, and David has superior technology, then you say: why do we tell the story the way we do? It becomes, actually, a far more meaningful and important story in its retelling than in the kind of unsophisticated way we’ve done it for, I think, too long Picture Quote #1

From the American retelling of Romeo and Juliet in West Side Story to the Japanese adaptation of King Lear in Ran, Shakespeare’s cultural influence is virtually limitless Picture Quote #1

The newly released movie ‘Noah’ features a retelling of the creation story that clearly depicts Darwinian evolution transforming a single-cell organism into a monkey. The movie also seems to show magic in scenes more reminiscent of the occult than of the Bible story Picture Quote #1

No matter what you write, you actually can’t help retelling a fairy tale somewhere along the way Picture Quote #1

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see Picture Quote #1

Literature offers us all, writers and readers, the best method of discovering and retelling the changing story of ourselves. The story is both journey and surprise. And as everyone knows, even the past is altered, depending on, not the facts, but the interpretation Picture Quote #1

I think the big thing is the fairy tale. It’s taking old folk fairy tales and retelling them in modern day. I think it’s just taking you out of everyday life, and everyone loves a good fairy tale Picture Quote #1

History gets reinterpreted as time goes on. Many times, the participants are lost in the retelling of the story Picture Quote #1

Art is the retelling of certain themes in a new light, making them accessible to the public of the moment Picture Quote #1

Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories Picture Quote #1

It’s strange how memory gets twisted and pulled like taffy in its retelling, how a single event can mean something different to everyone present Picture Quote #1

In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1
