Stories Quotes

There is a place where the human enters dream and myth, and becomes a part of it, or maybe it is the other way around when the story grows from the body and spirit of humankind. In any case, we are a story, each of us, a bundle of stories, some as false as phantom islands but believed in nevertheless. Some might be true Picture Quote #1

We live in a highly industrialized society and every member of the Black nation must be as academically and technologically developed as possible. To wage a revolution, we need competent teachers, doctors, nurses, electronics experts, chemists, biologists, physicists, political scientists, and so on and so forth. Black women sitting at home reading bedtime stories to their children are just not going to make it Picture Quote #1

Fiction is lies; we’re writing about people who never existed and events that never happened when we write fiction, whether its science fiction or fantasy or western mystery stories or so-called literary stories. All those things are essentially untrue. But it has to have a truth at the core of it Picture Quote #1

I remember that - you know, I didn’t receive a formal education. I was educated in the Montevideo cafe, in the cafes of Montevideo. There, I received my first lessons in the art of telling stories, storytelling Picture Quote #1

As you get older and you hopefully battle your own demons, you find other reasons why you want to be an actor. The people that I truly admire do this because they love telling stories and they love the make-believe of the moment and not so much the gratification afterwards Picture Quote #1

At Yahoo, we were one of the early proponents of the power of content showcased through new media. SnagFilms, with its large library and breadth of digital distribution, can help shape this next phase, bringing great stories to broad new audiences Picture Quote #1

Books can make a difference in dispelling prejudice and building community: not with role models and recipes, not with noble messages about the human family, but with enthralling stories that make us imagine the lives of others. A good story lets you know people as individuals in all their particularity and conflict; and once you see someone as a person-flawed, complex, striving-you’ve reached beyond stereotype Picture Quote #1

We don’t just live in books awake and dreams asleep. We are living stories, you and I, with dreams inside us undeniable, with love to give and people to walk beside Picture Quote #1

Science is not just ‘Here are some facts, learn that’. There’s a thread through these stories that, if you know how to tell it because you know how they connect, then it’s a thread that will land right in your mind, body and soul Picture Quote #1

I really said, ‘Okay, this is just the right job for me. This is really what I need to be doing: telling stories through music in lots of different styles of music.’ Picture Quote #1

The journalists in America are no longer covering critical stories. Investigative journalism is gone. Foreign-news coverage is gone. The press is owned by five giant corporations Picture Quote #1

Movies are designed to tell us stories, engage us on an emotional level and keep our attention. This can be done with a wide range of emotional triggers - Love, adrenaline, comedy. But fear is a highly potent sensation Picture Quote #1

I often begin movies with music in my head; it’s a very important dimension to me. Not just the music itself, but how to use music in film: when and how and subtlety. I don’t like to be too sweet in my stories, and I like the abrasive clang, the contrasting of sounds and cultures Picture Quote #1

I am a storyteller, and I grew up with a father who told big-fish stories, so storytelling is very much a part of me. It was a part of my family Picture Quote #1

I aspired to be a writer and then I just started getting acting work. I really didn’t have a direct goal, I just knew I wanted to be in this industry telling stories and doing this for a job. I thought my path was going to be as a writer, but I’m pretty happy doing it as an actor Picture Quote #1

One reason I avoid the American TV talk show circuit, when I’m over there, is that the tabloids and the gossip mill are always churning with new, true, or untrue stories about new loves, old loves, pending marriages, divorces, trial separations, flings and affairs with people of every description. I’m not into any of that Picture Quote #1

People relate to things that feel real to them. All the good, happy, over-sexed and moneyed endings on TV are not the way most of us feel in our lives. The success of ‘E.R.,’ I think, is not relying on overly sentimental stories that are solved where people’s lives wrap up nicely with happy endings Picture Quote #1

Great storytellers in the past would go to an unknown land and return to tell the stories they’ve found. Those were also journeys into their inner psyches and that’s still true today. An actor, a writer, does that as if saying, ‘Here’s what I’ve discovered about myself and about the world I’m in. I would like to share this with you.’ Picture Quote #1

How much energy is wasted in Italy in trying to write the novel that obeys all the rules. The energy might have been useful to provide us with more modest, more genuine things, that had less pretensions: short stories, memoirs, notes, testimonials, or at any rate, books that are open, without a preconceived plan Picture Quote #1

The first two books that I did by myself were long stories in verse. I knew I could do that because I’d written a lot in verse. But, verse stories are hard to sell, so my editor encouraged me to try writing in prose Picture Quote #1

African narratives in the West, they proliferate. I really don’t care anymore. I’m more interested in the stories we tell about ourselves - how, as a writer, I find that African writers have always been the curators of our humanity on this continent Picture Quote #1

I guess the reason that I’m a horror fan is that I think it gives people the opportunity to enjoy the feeling of being scared in a safe environment. I think that’s why, for all of human history, we’ve been telling each other scary stories: because it exorcises something that we need to exorcise in a safe place Picture Quote #1

Eudora Welty’s ‘A Curtain of Green’ had an enormous effect on me. But my early attempts to graft stories from the Deep South onto North of England provincialism were not successful. All were rejected Picture Quote #1

I got to spend all of my time every day at work reading and editing papers about cutting-edge technical research and getting paid for it. Then I’d go home at night and turn what I learned into science fiction stories Picture Quote #1

When I read the ‘Dick and Jane’ stories, I thought they were afraid they might forget each other’s names because they always said each other’s names - a lot. So if Jane didn’t see the dog, Dick would say, ‘Look Jane, look. There is the dog next to Sally, Jane. The dog is also next to mother, Jane. The dog is next to father, Jane.’ Picture Quote #1

I always loved strange stories like the Dr. Seuss stuff. ‘Go, Dog. Go!’ was one of my favorite stories - it still is. It’s just such a bizarre yet true book. And I did well reading and writing as a kid throughout school. I think early on that’s what made me realize what an advantage that is Picture Quote #1

I like to tell kids that I started thinking about stories when I first started reading stuff like Dr. Seuss and ‘Go, Dog. Go!,’ thinking, ‘Oh yeah, that’s funny. I’d like to do that.’ And then writing throughout school, but at the same time I was studying pre-med stuff, because my mom told me I should be a doctor Picture Quote #1

I always gravitate towards the independent side of things, just because those are the stories I always fall in love with, but you don’t really get paid, and living in Los Angeles is expensive, and I have a mortgage to pay. So it’s good to jump onto a studio film and then in all my other time do small passion projects Picture Quote #1

Growing up, I was discouraged from telling personal stories. My dad often used the phrase ‘Don’t tell anyone.’ But not about creepy things. I don’t want to lead you down the wrong path. It would be about insignificant things. Like, I wouldn’t make the soccer team, and my father would say, ‘Don’t tell anyone.’ Picture Quote #1
