Stories Quotes

Books that recount ordeals are precious because an ordeal is what we most fear, and the stories that tell us how to survive them reassure us about what a human being is capable of, as we survive our own lives every day, our own mysterious journeys Picture Quote #1

Not only does art imitate life but life imitates art. Perhaps we not only learn about life from stories, perhaps we make our lives through the stories we tell ourselves about the things that happen to us Picture Quote #1

Democracy in itself does not define or guarantee a free society. History has told many stories of democratic societies that have degenerated into corruption, plunder, and tyranny Picture Quote #1

What does it matter, if we tell the same old stories?... Stories tell us who we are. What we’re capable of. When we go out looking for stories we are, I think, in many ways going in search of ourselves, trying to find understanding of our lives, and the people around us. Stories, and language tell us what’s important Picture Quote #1

Broken stories can be healed. Diseased stories can be replaced by healthy ones. We are free to change the stories by which we live Picture Quote #1

Cities are beautiful because they are created slowly; they are made by time. A city is born from a tangle of monuments and infrastructures, culture and market, national history and everyday stories. It takes 500 years to create a city, 50 to create a neighborhood Picture Quote #1

What is childhood without stories? And how will children fall in love with stories without bookstores? You can’t get that from a computer Picture Quote #1

People’s stories are the most personal thing they have, and paying attention to those stories is just about the most important thing you can do for them Picture Quote #1

What I’m trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. It’s my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think it’s very much alive Picture Quote #1

Since humans first huddled around campfires, stories have been told of wild horses with wind in their manes, fire in their eyes and freedom in their hearts. Those horses eluded capture, and scorned the comforts of civilization. Americans have insisted they want their wild horses to live that way, forever Picture Quote #1

Fairytales are stories that span every generation and they’ve been around for a long time Picture Quote #1

Hollywood has more than its share of harsh and crewel stories. In fact, it’s probably more the norm than the exception Picture Quote #1

It’s a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama Picture Quote #1

As a woman, a lot of stories haven’t been told and we’ve got a lot of catching up to do Picture Quote #1

We need art. We’ve been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival Picture Quote #1

Hollywood has its own way of telling stories. I was just telling stories that I was familiar with. And it’s what I want to do in the future: I want to take my audio cinema and put it on the screen Picture Quote #1

Sitting down at the table is a sacred event. It’s the heart of the home. People have ginormous homes or crappy little homes, but the kitchen is where we always end up sitting. It’s where the stories happen, the family happens Picture Quote #1

I have a bee in my bonnet as to how few black historical figures one sees on film; incredible stories, stories from which we are living the legacy and which just don’t get made Picture Quote #1

There’s a great appetite for smart television. Every day I get up and there are interesting stories I want to do Picture Quote #1

My love is for acting not money, so I only take on roles that I find challenging, in stories I find interesting Picture Quote #1

It is immature and lazy to imagine we know everything there is to know about someone before we know that someone. We don’t know their stories, their histories, their real live human feelings. We don’t know their favorite movies and best memories and what makes them afraid. It is unfair to take one fact, one thing they’ve said or we heard they said, or one thing they wrote, or someone else’s experience, or a group they identify with and make a character sketch. If people did that to us, the picture would be so woefully incomplete, we wouldn’t even recognize our own description Picture Quote #1

The vast waterfall of history pours down, and a few obituarists fill teacups with the stories Picture Quote #1

If you just write the kinds of stories you think others will want to read, you’ll be competing with cartoonists who are far more enthusiastic for that kind of comic than you are, and they’ll kick your ass every time Picture Quote #1

A curious thing about atrocity stories is that they mirror, instead of the events they purport to describe, the extent of the hatred of the people that tell them. Still, you can’t listen unmoved to tales of misery and murder Picture Quote #1

I probably have reported, probably more about the unusual animal death stories then anyone else on this planet Picture Quote #1

In my contemporary stories, I write about today’s quilters, inventive techniques they use, and how technology has influenced their art. Novels set in the past let me have fun researching patterns that were popular and fabrics and tools available to quilters through history Picture Quote #1

Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people, and the excitement and glamour of romance end at the altar. How blind they are. The best romance is inside marriage; the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before Picture Quote #1

The ability to see our lives as stories rather than unrelated, random events increases the possibility for significant and purposeful action Picture Quote #1

Until we find the meaning of the stories in our lives we’re destined to wander in a wilderness even though we’re in a promised land Picture Quote #1

I see myself as a journalist reporting neglected stories about our past and trying to bring rigor, reason and intuition to the quest Picture Quote #1
