Stories Quotes

There’s no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference Picture Quote #1

There wasn’t much as a kid that inspired me in what I did as an adult, but I was always very interested in what motivates people, and in telling stories and building things Picture Quote #1

My brothers and I grew up on stories about our grandfather building one-room schoolhouses and about our grandparents’ courtship and their early lives together in Indian Territory Picture Quote #1

Language is material to shape and mold, not only a transparent or invisible medium for communication, business contracts, or telling stories Picture Quote #1

The annals of business are filled with stories of companies that thought they had it made and could milk their enterprises without having to bother about improving their products or services. It’s amazing how fast they found their markets disappearing Picture Quote #1

It sounds corny, but I think people need stories to process the world. That’s our business. That’s the job we’re in. We tell stories Picture Quote #1

The problem today isn’t low-quality journalism, it’s too much noise. If one out of five ‘Business Insider’ stories is original, the other four would be culled Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a writer, to write these stories that would make people see the world in a different way. But I ended up going to business school because I thought I could ultimately get to where I wanted to go faster that way Picture Quote #1

I started at a very early age in this business and I’m sure most of you have read stories about people who have started as children and ended up in very difficult lives and bad consequences Picture Quote #1

People’s mouse clicks decide what businesses, services, and content succeed. Users have equal access to tiny businesses with viral ideas and blue-chip companies, allowing these enterprises to compete on their own merits. It’s how so many small start-ups have been able to become Internet success stories Picture Quote #1

One of the things I realized... is how few success stories there are in websites or products or businesses that exist primarily for an altruistic purpose Picture Quote #1

My folks were busy. My dad was a teacher, and it was during the Second World War, and my mother was working. So I got my stories from films and books. I read a lot, and I love to read to this day Picture Quote #1

In a fashion similar to the leftist occupiers on Wall Street, their antics would be the target of rabid moral indignation on the front pages of the New York times and Washington Post and on the lead stories of every cable news show Picture Quote #1

A great thing is happening on cable TV. You see characters change in stories over years, like in Tolstoy. That’s a whole, thrilling new form that I really enjoy. They are Tolstoy-an in their endless character development and narrative changes... a show like ‘Breaking Bad’ is astonishing Picture Quote #1

I’ve never done a sequel - so far, there have been too many new stories and characters calling my name Picture Quote #1

There is no off position on my visual switch, and I don’t want one. I love, and always have, telling stories with my camera Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn’t know anything about cameras. I didn’t know how to make a film and I obviously didn’t have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to get down the stuff that was in my head, that I couldn’t afford to actually do Picture Quote #1

The rise of the Internet and the camera phone have started to change what stories are accessible Picture Quote #1

Trust me, I’m telling you stories. ... I can change the story. I am the story Picture Quote #1

I can’t change the past, and I don’t think I would. I don’t expect to be understood. I like what I’ve written, the stories and two novels. If I had to give up what I’ve written in order to be clear of this disease, I wouldn’t do it Picture Quote #1

Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released Picture Quote #1

At one time I used to keep notebooks with outlines for stories. But I found doing this somehow deadened the idea in my imagination. If the notion is good enough, if it truly belongs to you, then you can’t forget it-it will haunt you till it’s written Picture Quote #1

I love telling stories. Creating a character, a world, a whole universe out of nothing. That part I can’t get enough of Picture Quote #1

I love stories about teachers. For some reason I can’t get enough of those kind of stories. If I turn a movie on about a teacher, I love it. I love that idea of an adult influence on kids Picture Quote #1

I love ghost stories but I can’t really watch them, especially not by myself because then I can’t sleep Picture Quote #1

Epidemiologists study patterns in order to combat infection. Stories about epidemics follow patterns, too. Stories aren’t often deadly, but they can be virulent: spreading fast, weakening resistance, wreaking havoc Picture Quote #1

Stories are what death thinks he puts an end to. He can’t understand that they end in him, but they don’t end with him Picture Quote #1

Although awareness of cancer’s prevalence in the United States improves and medical advances in the field abound, pancreatic cancer has largely been absent from the list of major success stories Picture Quote #1

I can’t stop terrorism; I can’t cure cancer. But I can put some stories out there in their own quiet way that talk about tolerance Picture Quote #1

I think that writers have natural canvases, and my canvas, even in short stories, often seems to be the scope of a life Picture Quote #1
