Story Quotes

I think people enjoy a series. When you like a story, many readers want more of the same, which is dandy, if the author and the characters have more to say Picture Quote #1

If I get blocked, it is generally because I don’t know enough about some aspect of the story or the characters. The answer for this is generally more research, or making more background notes, so the place and person can be more fully realized inside my own mind Picture Quote #1

To me this movie is about what is valuable. To one person it might be a stone; to someone else, a story in a magazine; to another, it is a child. The juxtaposition of one man obsessed with finding a valuable diamond with another man risking his life to find his son is the beating heart of this film Picture Quote #1

Because I found myself telling the story of his family to people without the visual aids that I was able to employ by filming them eventually. But I very much knew exactly what I was going to do Picture Quote #1

I never wanted anything to happen to my parents, but a hero needs an origin story Picture Quote #1

I’ve heard that story about kids are high naturally, but I’ve seen kids that aren’t high, kids who’ve had the high taken out of them Picture Quote #1

Perhaps we should all settle down and think about what’s good in the world and what we want to do here. If we find this planet and its history and its story to be sacred, let’s preserve and nourish it, and then we can go home at night and say whatever prayers we choose Picture Quote #1

If my serenade of song and story should serve as a pillow for some composer’s head, as yet perhaps unborn, to dream and build on our fond melodies in his tomorrow, I have not labored in vain Picture Quote #1

There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story Picture Quote #1

Blink and you miss a sprint. The 10,000 meters is lap after lap of waiting. Theatrically, the mile is just the right length: beginning, middle, end, a story unfolding Picture Quote #1

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries Picture Quote #1

What makes a good writer of history is a guy who is suspicious. Suspicion marks the real difference between the man who wants to write honest history and the one who’d rather write a good story Picture Quote #1

A story has been thought to its conclusion when it has taken its worst possible turn Picture Quote #1

For a certain type of woman who risks losing her identity in a man, there are all those questions... until you get to the point and know that you really are living a love story Picture Quote #1

Am I like the optimist who, while falling ten stories from a building, says at each story, I’m all right so far? Picture Quote #1

When you tell a story you automatically talk about traditions, but they’re never separate from the people, the human implications. You’re talking about your connections as a human being Picture Quote #1

We are, each of us, our own prisoner. We are locked up in our own story Picture Quote #1

You want to tell a story? Grow a heart. Grow two. Now, with the second heart, smash the first one into bits. Gross, right? A bloody pulpy liquid mess. Look at it, try to make sense of it. Realize you can’t. Because there is no sense. Ask your computer to print out a list of every lie you have ever told. Ask yourself how much of the universe you have ever really seen. Look in the mirror. Are you sure you’re you? Are you sure you didn’t slip out of yourself in the middle of the night, and someone else slipped into you, without you or you or any of you even noticing? Picture Quote #1

Story is the vehicle we use to make sense of our lives in a world that often defies logic Picture Quote #1

No test tube can breed love and affection. No frozen packet of semen ever read a story to a sleepy child Picture Quote #1

Fraud and deceit have been practiced since the beginning of history... Brass has been called gold; glass has been sold as diamonds; and poison has been hawked as excellent food. The story of fraud throughout the ages forms an ugly chapter of human history Picture Quote #1

I love theaters. I love the event of going there and seeing a movie with a lot of people. I like the community coming around the story Picture Quote #1

The fact that radio is so hopeless at delivering data makes it an uncluttered medium, offering the basic story without the detailed trappings. But it does mean that if data is important, radio is probably not your place Picture Quote #1

Whenever somebody says they need an angle for their story I always fear that they’ve got an idea and they want me to fit into it or they want me to come up with an idea myself or I’m supposed to be more revealing than I’ve been, and to me it just sounds like something I don’t want to do Picture Quote #1

America’s vulnerability comes precisely from its strength, its wealth, its power and its modernity. It’s the usual story of the dog chasing its own tail Picture Quote #1

I can’t impress enough upon people that if you tell an honest story that people relate to and people believe and invest in, you can do anything Picture Quote #1

The reason most comedies don’t win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes Picture Quote #1

If you’re not connected emotionally to a story, then you’re dead. You’re really just opening the door for people to lose interest and their minds to wander, for them to start picking it apart Picture Quote #1

The bottom line: if you want a happier family, create, refine and retell the story of your family’s positive moments and your ability to bounce back from the difficult ones. That act alone may increase the odds that your family will thrive for many generations to come Picture Quote #1

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense Picture Quote #1
