Story Quotes

Whereas story is processed in the mind in a straightforward manner, poetry bypasses rational thought and goes straight to the limbic system and lights it up like a brushfire. It's the crack cocaine of the literary world Picture Quote #1

That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don't remember what it's like to be twelve years old. They patronize; they treat children as inferiors. I won't do that. I'll temper a story, yes. But I won't play down, and I won't patronize Picture Quote #1

Until a character becomes a personality it cannot be believed. Without personality, the character may do funny or interesting things, but unless people are able to identify themselves with the character, its actions will seem unreal. And without personality, a story cannot ring true to the audience Picture Quote #1

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world Picture Quote #1

It's been the same story ever since I can remember, ever since Wilson – the Republicans don't do a thing for the little man Picture Quote #1

The classic business story is much like the classic human story. There is rise and fall; the overcoming of great odds, the upholding of principles despite the cost, questions of rivalry and succession, and even the possibility of descent into madness Picture Quote #1

I think of an author as somebody who goes into the marketplace and puts down his rug and says, I will tell you a story, and then he passes the hat Picture Quote #1

'The Piano Lesson' is very sophisticated, easily the most adult or complex material I've attempted. It's the first film I've written that has a proper story, and it was a big struggle for me to write. It meant I had to admit the power of narrative Picture Quote #1

I must be honest. I can only read so many paragraphs of a New York Times story before I puke Picture Quote #1

One believes in the truthfulness of a man because of his long experience with the man, and because the man has always told a consistent story. But no man has told so consistent a story as nature Picture Quote #1

Of rich men it telleth, and strange is the story how they have, and they hanker, and grip far and wide; and they live and they die, and the Earth and its glory has been but a burden they scarce might abide Picture Quote #1
