Stories Quotes

Writers shouldn’t underestimate the difficulty of what they’re doing, and they should treat it with great seriousness. You’re doing something that really matters, you’re telling stories that have an impact on other people and on the culture. You should tell the best stories you can possibly tell and put everything you’ve got into it Picture Quote #1

All these questions about do you want to be king? It’s not a question of wanting to be, it’s something I was born into and it’s my duty... Wanting is not the right word. But those stories about me not wanting to be king are all wrong Picture Quote #1

Out of the blending of human and animal stories comes the theme that I hope is inherent in all my books: that man is an inescapable part of all nature, that its welfare is his welfare, that to survive, he cannot continue acting and regarding himself as a spectator looking on from somewhere outside Picture Quote #1

Stories are one of the greatest gifts we can give to our children. Stories are equipment for life Picture Quote #1

The romance of movies is not just in those stories and those people on the screen but in the adolescent dream of meeting others who feel as you do about what you’ve seen Picture Quote #1

I always let the characters guide the stories. They really let me know what they want to say and what action they want to happen Picture Quote #1

The book, the idea of a book or the image of a book, is a symbol of learning, of transmitting knowledge.. I make my own books to find my way through the old stories Picture Quote #1

I’d worked at a small town newspaper, and I was thinking of all the strange stories that I had seen float through the newsroom in my time there that were dismissed as kind of amusing curiosities. Somehow from that I got to this idea of an eccentric alcoholic who built a lighthouse in the woods Picture Quote #1

I don’t like captions. I prefer people to look at my pictures and invent their own stories Picture Quote #1

Francie was ten years old when she first found an outlet in writing. What she wrote was of little consequence. What was important was that the attempt to write stories kept her straight on the dividing line between truth and fiction. If she had not found this outlet in writing, she might have grown up to be a tremendous liar Picture Quote #1

We are the only ones who can tell our stories because we are the only ones who have lived them Picture Quote #1

Symbols give us our identity, our self image, our way of explaining ourselves to ourselves and to others. Symbols in turn determine the kinds of stories we tell, and the stories we tell determine the kind of history we make and remake Picture Quote #1

Life will go on as long as there is someone to sing, to dance, to tell stories and to listen Picture Quote #1

I knew little, but at least I knew that: no one could speak for someone else. That although we might want to tell other people’s stories, we always end up telling our own Picture Quote #1

Essentially, the life of expression is the ongoing journey of how we heal each other... for by telling our stories and listening to the stories of others, we let out who we are and find ourselves in each other, and find that we are more together than alone Picture Quote #1

It’s the stories that make my heart beat faster... those are the ones to write about Picture Quote #1

Fact is often stranger than fiction because most writers of fiction try to make their stories plausible Picture Quote #1

You are born with a character; it is given, a gift, as the old stories say, from the guardians upon your birth... Each person enters the world called Picture Quote #1

I tell people to start implementing when they are pretty sure there aren’t more important stories out there. An iteration’s worth of data is worth months of speculation Picture Quote #1

Through the stories of women I admire, and, above all, through my own experience with my daughters, again and again I encounter moments of extraordinary strength, courage, and resilience, when fears are confronted, even overcome, and anything seems possible Picture Quote #1

It’s extremely important for women to be writing their own stories and giving them to people to really be emotionally impacted by Picture Quote #1

Each human being, however small or weak, has something to bring to humanity. As we start to really get to know others, as we begin to listen to each other’s stories, things begin to change. We begin the movement from exclusion to inclusion, from fear to trust, from closedness to openness, from judgment and prejudice to forgiveness and understanding. It is a movement of the heart Picture Quote #1

Stories heal us because we become whole through them. In the process of writing, of discovering our story, we restore those parts of ourselves that have been scattered, hidden, suppressed, denied, distorted, forbidden, and we come to understand that stories heal Picture Quote #1

The stories that are too personally vulnerable to write are the ones that must be told Picture Quote #1

Spoken word teaches that if you have the ability to express yourself and the courage to present those stories and opinions, you could be rewarded with a room full of your peers or your community who will listen Picture Quote #1

It is easy to forget how mysterious and mighty stories are. They do their work in silence, invisibly. They work with all the internal materials of your mind and self. They become part of you while changing you. Beware the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world Picture Quote #1

When you spend time with your friends, what do you talk about? Those things which made an impression on you that day, that week... I write stories the same way. Events at home, in school, at work, in the street, these are the bases for a story. Some experiences leave such a deep impression that instead of talking about them at the club I work them into a novel Picture Quote #1

I’m overflowing with stories, delighted and quite mad with the beauty and tragedy of them Picture Quote #1

The night is full of stories. They float up like miasmas, as though the dead leave their dreams in the earth where you bury them, only to have them rise to meet you in sleep. Mostly the scenes are familiar, but sometimes everything is strange, the people unknown Picture Quote #1

I’ve done more than 10,000 interviews, and I’ve learnt that you’ve got to do your homework. I bury myself in research beforehand. And you have to be genuinely interested in people; there’s a cornucopia of great, ordinary people out there with wonderful, colourful stories Picture Quote #1
