Story Quotes

People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it Picture Quote #1

Tell the readers a story! Because without a story, you are merely using words to prove you can string them together in logical sentences Picture Quote #1

As white snowflakes fall quietly and thickly on a winter day, answers to prayer will settle down upon you at every step you take, even to your dying day. The story of your life will be the story of prayer and answers to prayer Picture Quote #1

This is a funny story. We’d asked the guards every day for cappuccino. You know, just as a joke. And they’d come in with their cups of coffee and stuff. And so I get here and I have a spot for a cappuccino machine, and it didn’t work. So I don’t have any cappuccino... I didn’t miss the cappuccino, I missed the idea of cappuccino Picture Quote #1

There’s an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone Picture Quote #1

As the child approaches a new text he is entitled to an introduction so that when he reads, the gist of the... story can provide some guide for a fluent reading Picture Quote #1

My sister was drowning in the ocean once, and my brother and I dove in and saved her. True story. She owes us her life. It’s great leverage; we abuse it all the time! Picture Quote #1

I suspect it was... the old story of the implacable necessity of a man having honour within his own natural spirit. A man cannot live and temper his mettle without such honour. There is deep in him a sense of the heroic quest; and our modern way of life, with its emphasis on security, its distrust of the unknown and its elevation of abstract collective values has repressed the heroic impulse to a degree that may produce the most dangerous consequences Picture Quote #1

Human behaviour reveals uniformities which constitute natural laws. If these uniformities did not exist, then there would be neither social science nor political economy, and even the study of history would largely be useless. In effect, if the future actions of men having nothing in common with their past actions, our knowledge of them, although possibly satisfying our curiosity by way of an interesting story, would be entirely useless to us as a guide in life Picture Quote #1

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story Picture Quote #1

The story of the entrepreneur... is the story of forward progress, of pursuing one’s dreams and goals no matter how outlandish they seem to others. The entrepreneur, like the pioneer, pushes boundaries in search of what’s new, what’s next. Sometimes, he brings the whole society with him, rushing forward together into a next phase of our communal human life Picture Quote #1

Clothes as text, clothes as narration, clothes as a story. Clothes as the story of our lives. And if you were to gather all the clothes you have ever owned in all your life, each baby shoe and winter coat and wedding dress, you would have your autobiography Picture Quote #1

Witness protection just makes for exciting stories and it’s a really rich sort of place to grab stories from... people starting over completely, saying goodbye to their lives before... it never ends in terms of story opportunities Picture Quote #1

... there is... a big aspect of play in writing novels, and making the story more and more elaborate is just more and more fun Picture Quote #1

We all love to hear a good story. We save our stories in books. We save our books in libraries. Libraries are the storyhouses full of all those stories and secrets Picture Quote #1

The right people to start video blogging are those with a passion to tell a story Picture Quote #1

There is only the actuality of what happens in life. The rest is just a story, no matter who’s telling it Picture Quote #1

If your stories are all about your products and services, that’s not storytelling. It’s a brochure. Give yourself permission to make the story bigger Picture Quote #1

It’s almost a sort of fairy story tale, just what a novelist would write about a discovery Picture Quote #1

When the uncultured man sees a stone in the road it tells him no story other than the fact that he sees a stone... The scientist looking at the same stone perhaps will stop, and with a hammer break it open, when the newly exposed faces of the rock will have written upon them a history that is as real to him as the printed page Picture Quote #1

You have to be precise. You have to be specific, but you want to be accurate. That is first and foremost. You want to be on top of the story, but words do matter Picture Quote #1

We like things to be black or white, tall or short, here or there. We like to consider two sides to every story. Unfortunately, there aren’t always two sides. Sometimes there’s only one; more often, there are multitudes. Many facets on the stone. Nooks and crannies in abundance. Things are usually not either black or white, but multicolored Picture Quote #1

Changers are characters who alter in significant ways as a result of the events of your story. They learn something or grow into better or worse people, but by the end of the story they are not the same personalities they were in the beginning. Their change, in its various stages, is called the story’s emotional arc Picture Quote #1
