Stories Quotes

As a kid, I did want to be an old-timer, since they were the ones with the big stories and the cool clothes. I wanted to go there. Now, I guess I want to bring that with me and go back in time Picture Quote #1

People who think about time travel stories sometimes think that going back in time would be fun because you would have all the information you needed to be much more astute than the people there, when the truth is of course you wouldn’t Picture Quote #1

I did stories about unexpected encounters, back roads, small towns and ordinary folk, sometimes doing something a little extraordinary Picture Quote #1

First I think I was interested in the stories, and later on, I became more interested in the language itself, so the stories became almost secondary, but it was kind of a background music for my life Picture Quote #1

Inspiration comes from so many sources. Music, other fiction, the non-fiction I read, TV shows, films, news reports, people I know, stories I hear, misheard words or lyrics, dreams... Motivation? The memory of the rush I get from a really good writing session - even on a bad day, I know I’ll find that again if I keep going Picture Quote #1

All Hollywood endings - the bad endings have to be the bad guys to be falling about 50 stories to his death and you have to see his eyeballs as he goes to his doom Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t really a dark kid, but I was in my head a lot. I got good grades all through my 16 years of Catholic school, but I was always writing these weird - and, I have to say, really bad - stories, filled with murder Picture Quote #1

I’ve loved thrillers and spy stories since I was a kid. It’s probably not a bad rule of thumb to write the kinds of stories you love to read Picture Quote #1

You can use your means in a good and bad way. In German-speaking art, we had such a bad experience with the Third Reich, when stories and images were used to tell lies. After the war, literature was careful not to do the same, which is why writers began to reflect on the stories they told and to make readers part of their texts. I do the same Picture Quote #1

I have been to more than 80 countries, and there is not one-not one-that I didn’t have women coming up to me sharing stories of overcoming major abuse, a bad marriage turning good, etc Picture Quote #1

When you’re out in the military situation, you can’t take pictures at night because flashlights. So at night and in bad weather and in dark weather, the cameras went into the fish tackling box, which was waterproof, and I would just use my mind and try to keep quotes there and write down little stories Picture Quote #1

The trend today is vampires, zombies, angels, all the stuff that puts me right to sleep. It’s too bad because it’s so much less interesting than the diversity of stories you can tell with science Picture Quote #1

You see, I am trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across - not to just depict life - or criticize it - but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me, you actually experience the thing. You can’t do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful Picture Quote #1

Write a short story every week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row Picture Quote #1

Bad writing is more than a matter of shit syntax and faulty observation; bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do? to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street Picture Quote #1

If you write a hundred short stories and they’re all bad, that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. You fail only if you stop writing Picture Quote #1

I feel quite at home writing short stories but nervous and anxious when writing novels, as if the bad time of consecutive failures might arise again Picture Quote #1

The newspaper is, in fact, very bad for one’s prose style. That’s why I gravitated towards feature stories where you get a little more leeway in the writing style Picture Quote #1

I’d love to do some bedtime stories for kids or that kind of thing. But with the demands of the shooting schedule and balancing the demands of being a single mother, it’s a wonder you can squeeze in anything Picture Quote #1

Why can’t Google, which likes to see itself as a ‘Don’t Be Evil’ benevolent force in society, just write us a big check for using our stories, so we can keep checks and balances alive and continue to provide the search engine with our stories? Picture Quote #1

More people telling stories leads to more interesting perspectives in this world. I often think we wouldn’t get to these political impasses if we had balance in storytelling Picture Quote #1

I’m constantly struggling. You know, the stories that I feel like I could cover, do the work that I want to do and being a mother. That’s really where my struggle is - and being a wife and having a life - and for me it’s really hard to find that balance. I’m always struggling to find that balance Picture Quote #1

The Great Depression was going on, so that the station and the streets teemed with homeless people, just as they do today. The newspapers were full of stories of worker layoffs and farm foreclosures and bank failures, just as they are today. All that has changed, in my opinion, is that, thanks to television, we can hide a Great Depression. We may even be hiding a Third World War Picture Quote #1

I’ve done a number of things based on real people or true stories or based on books, and I’m a great believer that you have to be true to the script Picture Quote #1

If you’re an American reader, you can love short stories the way other Americans love baseball; this is our game, people! We have more than two hundred years of know-how and knack, of creativity Picture Quote #1

Much of my reading time over the last decade and a half has been spent reading aloud to my children. Those children’s bedtime rituals of supper, bath, stories, and sleep have been a staple of my life and some of the best, most special times I can remember Picture Quote #1

Human beings. People’s stories. That’s really what gets me excited Picture Quote #1

I’ve had a wonderful career and I’m very happy to have had all of the opportunities that I’ve had to tell stories and work for as long as I have. I’m sure there’ll be a few more films but I’m happy that I’m able to be selective Picture Quote #1

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

You can’t stop suffering, you can’t stop terrible things from happening, but you can bear witness... The least us reporters can do is go there and tell their stories Picture Quote #1
