Stories Quotes

I think, in Japan, animation isn’t relegated to being a genre unto itself. It’s just a medium by which you can tell any number of stories, be it horror or action or adventure or drama or whatever, and we’re trying to do that as well. Every film that you go see from Pixar, we’re hoping is a little bit of a surprise Picture Quote #1

The flanger setting ... makes it sound as if the chord is being chewed over thoughtfully by a large genie accustomed to telling long, implausible stories Picture Quote #1

Collaboration to me is... my favorite collaboration in the theatre is the collaboration between the actors and the audience because it’s just that thing that happens when the only thing left that is left on the human scale is that human beings come to look at other human beings act out stories Picture Quote #1

Looking back, I realize my favorite stories weren’t in books, they were in comics. On top of being a history enthusiast, my father was also a comics fan, and he kept his stash in the top drawer of his dresser, in easy reach of a kid making a beeline to the bathroom Picture Quote #1

People are hungry for stories. It’s part of our very being. Storytelling is a form of history, of immortality too. It goes from one generation to another. -Studs Terkel Picture Quote #1

I noticed that some of my deadness was being replaced by an intense feeling about the Greek stories and the Bible stories. They were similar. There was something naked about these stories. Terrible things happened, and then some more terrible things Picture Quote #1

I like to write stories where young people have a strong feeling about something being fair or unfair, right or wrong, cruel or kind, and they act on the basis of that - often in the face of the prevailing limits of behaviour Picture Quote #1

I kind of like that romantic image of being in a rocker with my family gathered around, all these generations in one room, listening intently to my stories Picture Quote #1

Crime stories are our version of sitting round a camp fire and telling tales. We enjoy being scared under safe circumstances. That’s why there’s no tradition of crime writing in countries that have wars Picture Quote #1

I feel very lucky and privileged to be a writer. I feel lucky in the sense that I can branch out into prose and tell different kinds of stories and stuff. But being a writer is so great because you’re literally not dependent on anybody Picture Quote #1

The biggest stories are written about the things which draw human beings closer together Picture Quote #1

If the stories don’t come from the inside out, then Bridget [Jones] is not being true to herself and it’s very important to me that she stays that way Picture Quote #1

If there was one overarching theme to ‘True Detective,’ I would say it was that, as human beings, we are nothing but the stories we live and die by - so you’d better be careful what stories you tell yourself Picture Quote #1

My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was Picture Quote #1

I write weird stories. I don’t know why I like weirdness so much ... But when I write, I write weird. That’s very strange. When I’m getting more and more serious, I’m getting more and more weird Picture Quote #1

Throughout my teenage years, I read ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Charles Dickens every December. It was a story that never failed to excite me, for as well as being a Dickens enthusiast, I have always loved ghost stories Picture Quote #1

I like stories where people have to face some big demons internally. It always seems to be an element of horror, because it’s pretty scary to have to face yourself and the things you’re most worried about: your own abilities and your own capabilities and your own level of competence in being a hero Picture Quote #1

I love hearing stories about, you know, people who are overcoming challenges in their life. And when you experience hardships, you can either fold or rally, and just by a paradigm shift in your belief system Picture Quote #1

I know a lot of great success stories of those who were excellent problem-solvers because they had found a need that they could fill well. As a result, they built organizations around them and those organizations had belief systems that could be described as a form of leadership Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in fairies floating around, and I don’t believe in telepathy, but there are things I want to say that just simple real-life stories don’t let me say Picture Quote #1

Fairy tales are stories of triumph and transformation and true love, all things I fervently believe in Picture Quote #1

You have to believe in love stories and prince charming and that eventually you’ll find your own happily ever after Picture Quote #1

I am a curious person and, believe it or not, I really do like to sit back and listen to people’s stories Picture Quote #1

A lot of things just got distorted, like stories about each other. After the tour we never talked. I believe a band should be a band Picture Quote #1

I tell stories. Because I believe you can do things that joke tellers can’t do, and that is, bring your audience along Picture Quote #1

If we are to reach certainty and true autonomy of realization, we need to be willing to be heretics. What’s more, we need to become universal heretics, not believing anything that we do not know from direct experience, beyond stories, beyond hearsay, and even beyond the mind Picture Quote #1

Even though I was manically overachieving and involved in everything, I still never felt like I belonged. That’s definitely affected my whole life and why I wanted to become an actor and tell people stories, because communication and feeling like you belong is such an integral part of our social fabric Picture Quote #1

People have to identify with their own stories, with their own lives, so a movie belongs to a country and to a culture. Sometimes we can share, but it’s very rare Picture Quote #1

As someone who is displaced - I left London almost fifteen years ago to make Connecticut my home - I am drawn to stories about people who don’t belong, whether physically or emotionally, and who find their families of choice in their friends Picture Quote #1

I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize! Picture Quote #1
