Story Quotes

Now it is done. Now the story ends. And there is no way to tell it. The art of fiction is dead. Reality has strangled invention Picture Quote #1

Books leave gestures in the body; a certain way of moving, of turning, a certain closing of the eyes, a way of leaving, hesitations. Books leave certain sounds, a certain pacing; mostly they leave the elusive, which is all the story. They leave much more than the words Picture Quote #1

The romance genre is the only genre where readers are guaranteed novels that place the heroine at the heart of the story. These are books that celebrate women’s heroic virtues and values: courage, honor, determination and a belief in the healing power of love Picture Quote #1

Darwin matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the preeminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from and where we are going Picture Quote #1

If enough money is involved and enough people believe that two plus two equals five the media will report the story with a straight face always adding a qualifying paragraph noting that mathematicians however say that two plus two still equals four Picture Quote #1

I’m no prophet, but I’m guessing that comic books will always be strong. I don’t think anything can really beat the pure fun and pleasure of holding a magazine in your hand, reading the story on paper, being able to roll it up and put it in your pocket, reread again later, show it to a friend, carry it with you, toss it on a shelf, collect them, have a lot of magazines lined up and read them again as a series. I think young people have always loved that. I think they always will Picture Quote #1

I have outlived that care that curries public favour or dreads the public frown…let the hand of law strike me down if it will, but I ask that my story be heard and considered Picture Quote #1

I was realizing, for the first time, that everything goes on, turns gray, is ruined in the living. That there is no end to our story until death comes and the body decays Picture Quote #1

Try not to become disappointed if someone doesn’t like a story you’ve written. Stick up for your ideas, but listen to what other people say, too. They might have good advice Picture Quote #1

The new cosmic story emerging into human awareness overwhelms all previous conceptions of the universe for the simple reason that it draws them all into its comprehensive fullness. Who can learn what this means and remain calm? Picture Quote #1

All professions, all work, all activity in the human world finds its essential meaning in the context of a people’s cosmic story Picture Quote #1

Humans enter this world and awaken to a simple truth: We must find our story with this great epic of being Picture Quote #1

I’m not presumptuous enough to feel that people are going to feel what I have in mind, so I tell a story, you know, let them read something, that doesn’t change, that as I have said it, you know, so that’s the way I feel about the viewer, the viewer has a mind of their own and eyes of their own and they’re going to see it their way, I just hope they look Picture Quote #1

Now and again thousands of memories converge, harmonize, arrange themselves around a central idea in a coherent form, and I write a story Picture Quote #1

The depth of any story is proportionate to the protagonist’s commitment to their goal, the complexity of the problem, and the grace of the solution Picture Quote #1

When you’re living through it, though, especially when you are twelve and you think the whole world is changing until you realize it isn’t the world, it’s you, no piece seems little. It’s all so big you think it can kill you. But it doesn’t. Which is why the story goes on Picture Quote #1

Writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage Picture Quote #1

I think the idea of a traditional story being told using traditional animation is likely a thing of the past Picture Quote #1

In a story, you can turn to the front and begin again and everyone lives once more. That doesn’t work in real life. And I love my real people the most Picture Quote #1

I look to everyday magic in art to remember how to live: how to estrange and vivify ordinary objects and beings. So little, really, is ordinary, but to remember this I need the brain chemical of painting and film and reading I had a thrummy doomed oracular feeling when I wrote blackened baby teeth into my little blind boy story: I saw teeth and in an instant they were becoming something else. They were buckshot. They were food. They were tiny flightless corvids Picture Quote #1
