Stories Quotes

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end Picture Quote #1

I think that we’re moving into this new phase of television where audiences are really embracing stories with a beginning, middle, and end Picture Quote #1

People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don’t have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning Picture Quote #1

Creation stories, so central in the religions of the Middle East, play a surprisingly marginal part in Greek myth. The Greeks had nothing to set alongside the resounding ‘In the beginning’ in the book of Genesis, where one eternal God creates the universe out of nothing Picture Quote #1

Humanity’s legacy of stories and storytelling is the most precious we have. All wisdom is in our stories and songs. A story is how we construct our experiences. At the very simplest, it can be: ‘He/she was born, lived, died.’ Probably that is the template of our stories - a beginning, middle, and end. This structure is in our minds Picture Quote #1

Don’t mistake a good setup for a satisfying conclusion - many beginning writers end their stories when the real story is just ready to begin Picture Quote #1

Human lives seldom conform to the conventions of fiction. Chekhov says that it is in the beginnings and endings of stories that we are most tempted to lie. I know what he means, and I agree Picture Quote #1

I’m a firm believer in stories with arcs and beginnings and endings and all that. ‘Scott Pilgrim’ is sort of one long novel, and it’s so long that I get confused and sort of tread water sometimes. But there’s definitely a goal to it. People who just dismiss it as shallow, that’s their prerogative, but it’s not really my intent Picture Quote #1

My music is more than me writing a flashy soul song. They’re heartfelt songs about my family and true stories. I have also songs that aren’t personal, but just painting a picture. I don’t like being put under labels, but my music is going to continue to stay classic and timeless forever Picture Quote #1

I love being a writer-director. I couldn’t imagine directing without writing it. You have to write and tell your stories - that’s what directing is to me Picture Quote #1

My story wasn’t one of those cliched stories of being an ugly duckling, I had a pretty good time at school. But then I think being six foot by the age of 15 meant that I couldn’t help but be noticed, and that was when my physical being felt quite painful - I could not any longer walk into a room without being noticed Picture Quote #1

I can write most places. I particularly like writing on trains. Being between places is quite liberating, and looking out of the window, watching a procession of landscapes and random-ish objects, is very good for stories Picture Quote #1

Somebody asked me earlier if I thought it was really important to tell stories about women’s struggles. And I said yes, but at the same time, it’s also important to tell stories about women’s triumphs, women being slackers, women being criminals, women being heroes Picture Quote #1

I have a lot of stories about being a kid because it was the last time I was interesting Picture Quote #1

I’m always interested in people being able to share stories that allow us to see the landscape of human foibles, challenges, and ultimately triumph Picture Quote #1

I hate being away, but I understand that for me, that’s where the work, the stories are Picture Quote #1

No one is born a writer; literacy is a peculiar mode of being, but I was all about stories from a very early age, before reading Picture Quote #1

I love coming up with the stories and being creative and working with creative people and coming up with visuals and creating characters Picture Quote #1

People read a lot of stories about witches, fairies, paranormals, and children possessed by evil spirits. They go to films showing rituals featuring pentagrams, swords, and invocations. That’s fine, people need to give free reign to their imagination and to go through certain stages. Anyone who gets through those stages without being deceived will eventually get in touch with the Tradition Picture Quote #1

I think probably I’m quite sentimental; I like big emotional stories, I like being moved by things, but I think I’m very embarrassed by sentiment. I’m very embarrassed by corniness Picture Quote #1

I love my stories being multi-layered, and coming at it from different angles, so that you don’t understand the film’s true emotional motivation until the very end Picture Quote #1

We kind of have to rewrite our own stories and our own ways of being free Picture Quote #1

Being an author is fun. It’s a great job, because I can stay up as late as I want, and if I feel like taking the day off, I do it. Plus, I get to make up silly stories and draw pictures all day Picture Quote #1

As we saw in the Queen’s Speech, anti-social behaviour - a phenomenon that I believe to be a genuine worry that is also being fed by a lot of scare stories - is the political theme of the moment Picture Quote #1

I started writing stories in sixth grade. But writing wasn’t cool, like being good at sports, or being part of the in crowd, or winning fights on the playground Picture Quote #1

I decided to become an author when my grandmother taught me to write, when I was six. I can still recall the sensation of being able to turn words into stories. It was a miracle Picture Quote #1

The work of a psychotherapist involves being empathic and insightful with one’s patients without getting too lost in their painful stories to be helpful 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

My mother has stories of leaving me in the bath as small kid, like a 3-year-old, and there being mirrors on the side, and her going to get a towel and coming back in, and me making faces at myself, like, ‘Now I’m happy. Now I’m sad.’ Picture Quote #1

I’ve heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that’s really cool Picture Quote #1
