Story Quotes

I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you're trying to be a writer. Because it's the only apprenticeship we have. It's the only way of learning how to write a story Picture Quote #1

I think if you have a two story office and you hire someone who's handicapped, it might be reasonable to let him have an office on the first floor rather than the government saying you have to have a $100,000 elevator Picture Quote #1

The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity - love. And the story of a love is not important - what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity Picture Quote #1

I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work Picture Quote #1

This is the story of what a woman's patience can endure, and what a man's resolution can achieve Picture Quote #1

You can't work in the movies. Movies are all about lighting. Very few filmmakers will concentrate on the story. You get very little rehearsal time, so anything you do onscreen is a kind of speed painting Picture Quote #1

The nice thing about the Bible is it doesn't give you too many facts. Two an a half lines and it tells you the whole story and that leaves you a great deal of freedom to elaborate on how it might have happened Picture Quote #1

I don't mind a dirty girl. But what I find tragic is when we, as women, become not the subject of our own story but someone else's object Picture Quote #1

No, it's not a very good story - it's author was too busy listening to other voices to listen as closely as he should have to the one coming from inside Picture Quote #1

You see something, then it clicks with something else, and it will make a story. But you never know when it's going to happen Picture Quote #1

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design, but what's missing is the eyebrows Picture Quote #1

Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier Picture Quote #1

Nearly all monster stories depend for their success on Jack killing the Giant, Beowulf or St. George slaying the Dragon, Harry Potter triumphing over the basilisk. That is their inner grammar, and the whole shape of the story leads towards it Picture Quote #1

I don't listen to a lot of new stuff. I just like the old stuff. It's all quite dramatic and atmospheric. You'd have an entire story in song. I never listen to, like, white music - I couldn't sing you a Zeppelin or Floyd song Picture Quote #1

I don't believe you on the 'Jimmy' story. No, I don't, and I'm going to prove it if it's the last thing I do Picture Quote #1

The Washington Times wrote a story questioning the authenticity of some of the suggestions made about me in Silent Coup. But as a believer in the First Amendment, I believe they have more than a right to air their views Picture Quote #1

In regard to the tune, we have a name in the studio, and we call it the 'MacGuffin.' It is the mechanical element that usually crops up in any story. In crook stories it is always the necklace and in spy stories it is always the papers. We just try to be a little more original Picture Quote #1

I'd much rather see a world where, when you make some quirky comment on a blog or news story or you upload a video clip, instead of just a moment of fame for your pseudonym, you'll get 50 bucks. The first time that happens, you'll realise that you're a full class citizen. You have the potential to make money from the system Picture Quote #1

We want a story that starts out with an earthquake and works it's way up to a climax Picture Quote #1

I sent the World Well Lost to one editor who rejected it on sight, and then wrote a letter to every other editor in the field warning them against the story, and urging them to reject it on sight without reading it Picture Quote #1

I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do Picture Quote #1

The inner spaces that a good story lets us enter are the old apartments of religion Picture Quote #1

The structure of a play is always the story of how the birds came home to roost Picture Quote #1

It's not a ladder we're climbing, it's literature we're producing... We cannot possibly leave it to history as a discipline nor to sociology nor science nor economics to tell the story of our people Picture Quote #1

I guess you just feel like there's a whole story that's not being told in movies. You're only seeing the macho guy version of a story that from the woman's side, may be completely different Picture Quote #1

Sometimes Old Nan would tell the same story she'd told before, but we never minded, if it was a good story. Old stories are like old friends, she used to say. You have to visit them from time to time Picture Quote #1

When the media attention switches away from this story onto the next thing that happens in the world, the circumstances will still be there Picture Quote #1

Death is the sanction of everything the story teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death Picture Quote #1
