Story Quotes

Pace doesn’t mean speed; it means the right speed. Diagnosis and cure are simple. If you’ve reached where you want to be in your story too quickly, ask yourself what you’ve left out. If you’ve come to a certain point too slowly, ask yourself what kept you so long Picture Quote #1

I learned another thing, which is that just because someone is eating the ashes of your protagonist doesn’t mean you stop telling the story Picture Quote #1

The freedom of patient speech is necessary if the doctor is to get clues about the medical enigma before him. If the patient is inhibited, or cut off prematurely, or constrained into one path of discussion, then the doctor may not be told something vital. Observers have noted that, on average, physicians interrupt patients within eighteen seconds of when they begin telling their story Picture Quote #1

A house built on granite and strong foundations, not even the onslaught of pouring rain, gushing torrents and strong winds will be able to pull down. Some people have written the story of my life representing as truth what in fact derives from ignorance, error or envy; but they cannot shake the truth from its place, even if they attempt to make others believe it Picture Quote #1

I am the only one who can tell the story of my life and say what it means Picture Quote #1

The short story, I should point out, is perforce a labor of love in today’s literary world; there’s precious little economic incentive to write one Picture Quote #1

A story can take you through a whole process of searching, seeking, confronting, through conflicts, and then to a resolution. As the storyteller and the listener, we go through a story together Picture Quote #1

I am sure it has been done with less, but you should be prepared to write and throw away a million words of finished material. By finished, I mean completed, done, ready to submit, and written as well as you know how at the time you wrote it. You may be ashamed of it later, but that’s another story Picture Quote #1

It does not bother me that some say I’m dull and boring because the people that do know me will tell you a different story. It is very difficult to be open with people you don’t know. There is nothing I can do about the fact that the real me does not get across and it is probably difficult to know the real me Picture Quote #1

My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set mood and the prime underlying core of the film’s story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it Picture Quote #1

I think the genre of comics sometimes overtakes the medium, and people assume that they are kind of frivolous. If you have a good, strong story teller, they can be as affecting as any character in literature. Period Picture Quote #1

Whereas life separates meaning from emotion, art unites them. Story is an instrument by which you create such epiphanies at will, the phenomenon known as aesthetic emotion... Life on its own, without art to shape it, leaves you in confusion and chaos, but aesthetic emotion harmonizes what you know with what you feel to give you a heightened awareness and a sureness of your place in reality Picture Quote #1

Life is chaotic and meaningless, and you have to find your meaning. You must find the answer, you can’t just live. That’s the point of story: helping you find your meaning in life Picture Quote #1

I guess you never know what’s going to come at you in life, but the answer is never to crawl into a box and throw in the towel. There is good that can come from anything, even if it’s just a later laugh and a good story Picture Quote #1

So what I am always looking for is, I’m always looking for something that that person has told me that nobody else has told me. It is normally not an opinion, and it is normally not a philosophy. It’s almost always a story. Because we all share similar philosophies, we all share similar opinions on a lot of different issues, but all of our stories are our own Picture Quote #1

Thus, words being symbols of ideas, we can collect ideas by collecting words. The fellow who said he tried reading the dictionary but couldn’t get the hang of the story simply missed the point: namely, that it is a collection of short stories Picture Quote #1

The idea that the story is true is more important than being able to prove that it’s true Picture Quote #1

I don’t want a team that escapes from reality and escapes from the truth. I don’t want people who are always escaping, who always have a story and are always conniving. An ostrich tries to escape from the truth. Isn’t an ostrich the thing that puts its head in the sand? But guess what’s sticking out when he does it? It’s ass, that’s what. I don’t want a team like that.... Because when you have a team like that and trouble comes, that team will not face the trouble Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I think we keep secrets for the wrong reasons. If we could instead find that right person to talk to we might find that talking about an embarrassing story or admitting our frailty might lead to a more authentic relationship with others or ourselves Picture Quote #1

Great brands are like great stories. And every story has a beginning, a middle, and an end. And our job is to make sure that every chapter of our stories makes sense to the one in front of it and make sense to the one after it. There is no such thing as an overnight success. You have to get up and put your work boots on every single day Picture Quote #1

I think if you’re artistic in any way, you’re probably born with it. I guess it’s a talent that can be learned here and there, but I think the instinct to tell a story or to create something happens maybe in the womb Picture Quote #1

You come up with a story line, you hire the writer, the director, the stars, the set designer Picture Quote #1

There are three sides to every story: my side, your side, and the truth. And no one is lying. Memories shared serve each one differently Picture Quote #1

If your life were a book, and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? Picture Quote #1

Life is revealed as a place to contribute and we as contributors. Not because we have done a measurable amount of good, but because that is the story we tell Picture Quote #1

Individually, every grain of sand brushing against my hands represents a story, an experience, and a block for me to build upon for the next generation Picture Quote #1

The one and original lovable monster is lost amid all the hydraulic manipulations in what now emerges as the story of a dumb blonde who falls for a huge plastic finger Picture Quote #1

Friendship warms like a sunbeam; charms like a good story; inspires like a brave leader; binds like a golden chain; guides like a heavenly vision Picture Quote #1

I’ve been told that my music tells a story, but I don’t know the story Picture Quote #1
