Stories Quotes

Perhaps it is partly that we need to love books ourselves as parents, grandparents and teachers in order to pass on that passion for stories to our children. It’s not about testing and reading schemes, but about loving stories and passing on that passion to our children Picture Quote #1

I am still attracted to stories about people who are considered to be on the outside of society. I still seek inspiration from those stories Picture Quote #1

The tabloids create their own stories about people’s lives that don’t exist Picture Quote #1

As a matter of fact, I deliberately look for the mundane, because I feel these stories are ignored. The most influential things that happen to virtually all of us are the things that happen on a daily basis. Not the traumas Picture Quote #1

I don’t know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It’s also changing how we’re telling stories Picture Quote #1

And it’s a human need to be told stories. The more we’re governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible Picture Quote #1

I grew up in the era of the concept album. What I do now is pick up on singles, and they are their own complete stories; you don’t necessarily have to hear the rest of the album because I don’t think albums are created like that anymore. They get songs from all over the place Picture Quote #1

I think I do believe in the afterlife; I have heard stories from people who I can completely trust that have seen ghosts Picture Quote #1

No excuses and no sob stories. Life is full of excuses if you’re looking. I have no time to gripe over misfortune. I don’t waste time looking back Picture Quote #1

I am interested in personal stories because that’s when people become expressive, spontaneous and heartfelt Picture Quote #1

Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too Picture Quote #1

We’ve seen how grassroots journalism by blogs has had an impact at various points politically, as ordinary people have amplified stories that were being ignored by the traditional press Picture Quote #1

I think indie films are really important, because they show the studios and the audiences when they see them, great stories. Really interesting, small stories Picture Quote #1

Some of the most morally conscious, kindest, most compassionate people are in the entertainment industry, people who want to affect the world and make it a better place through telling human, heartfelt stories Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales to me are never happy, sweet stories. They’re moral stories about overcoming the dark side and the bad Picture Quote #1

I get quite disappointed that we’re still telling stories that I think are problematic in terms of what they’re saying about women Picture Quote #1

Oral storytelling goes back so long ago, and those stories that were told orally were always layered and changed with time Picture Quote #1

Our country has the oldest tradition of storytelling, and this was much before writing stories even became a norm Picture Quote #1

I think you can get a sort of intensity and an edginess offering nine stories in a book. Competing versions of things Picture Quote #1

And it was always the stories that needed the telling that gave us the rope we could cross any river with. They balanced us high above any crevasse. They made us be natural acrobats. They made us brave. They met us well. They changed us. It was in their nature to Picture Quote #1

To the question: How do the authors of sketches, stories and novels get along in life, the following answer can or must be given: They are stragglers and they are down at heel Picture Quote #1

True stories seldom have endings. I don’t want a happy ending, I want more story Picture Quote #1

It’s the arrangement of events which makes the stories. It’s throwing away, compressing, underlining. Hindsight can give structure to anything, but you have to be able to see it. Breathing, waking and sleeping: our lives are steamed and shaped into stories. Knowing that is what keeps me from going insane, and though I don’t like to admit it, sometimes it’s the only thing Picture Quote #1

I’m only interested in stories that are about the crushing of the human heart Picture Quote #1

I will tell you something about stories... They aren’t just entertainment. Don’t be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death Picture Quote #1

I surrendered my beliefs and found myself at the tree of life injecting my story into the veins of leaves only to find that stories like forests are subject to seasons Picture Quote #1

Perhaps it is our fear, that in the silence between stories, in the moment of falling, the fear that we will never find the one story which will save us, and so we lunge for another, and we feel safe again, if only for as long as we are telling it Picture Quote #1

In every age, people are certain that only the things they have deemed valuable have true value. The search for love and the search for wealth are always the two best stories. But while a love story is timeless, the story of a quest for wealth, given enough time, will always seem like the vain pursuit of a mirage Picture Quote #1

Cram your head with characters and stories. Abuse your library privileges. Never stop looking at the world, and never stop reading to find out what sense other people have made of it. If people give you a hard time and tell you to get your nose out of a book, tell them you’re working. Tell them it’s research. Tell them to pipe down and leave you alone Picture Quote #1

Everyone underestimates their own life. Funny thing is, in the end, all our stories... they’re the same. In fact, no matter where you go in the world, there is only one important story: of youth, loss and yearning for redemption. So we tell the same story, over and over. Only the details are different Picture Quote #1
