Story Quotes

Stories are not like the real world; they aren’t held back by what we know is false or true. What’s important is how a story makes you feel inside Picture Quote #1

I’ve always known that the best part of writing occurs before you’ve picked up a pen. When a story exists only in your mind, its potential is infinite; it’s only when you start pinning words to paper that it becomes less than perfect. You have to make your choices, set your limits. Start whittling away at the cosmos, and don’t stop until you’ve narrowed it down to a single, ordinary speck of dirt. And in the end, what you’ve made is not nearly as glorious as what you’ve thrown away Picture Quote #1

I never plan my novels because if I know what is going to happen, it bores me rigid. I let the story tell itself Picture Quote #1

Some people read palms to tell your future, but I read hands to tell your past. Each scar makes a story worth telling. Each callused palm, each cracked knuckle is a missed punch or years in a factory Picture Quote #1

I can only answer that I tried to tell the truth and, if not be objective, at least be fair; history is not served when reporters prize trepidation and propriety over the robust journalistic duty to tell the whole story Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I have what it takes to make a good action game. I think I’m better at telling a story Picture Quote #1

Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes its own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story Picture Quote #1

When I first started you would pitch a story because without a good story, you didn’t really have a film. Later, once sequels started to take off, you pitched a character because a good character could support multiple stories. and now, you pitch a world because a world can support multiple characters and multiple stories across multiple media Picture Quote #1

My first program taught me a lot about the errors that I was going to be making in the future, and also about how to find errors. That’s sort of the story of my life, making errors and trying to recover from them. I try to get things correct. I probably obsess about not making too many mistakes Picture Quote #1

Sorry, there´s no magic bullet. You gotta eat healthy and live healthy to be healthy and look healthy. End of story Picture Quote #1

Considering retirement? When that happens, I don’t want that to be the story of whatever the season it is. I don’t want to have to be talking about it all the time. My plan is when the time is up, it’ll be time to hang it up. When that comes, it’ll come. But right now, I don’t have any clue as to when that’ll be. It’s been that way the last couple of years... I’ve often felt if I ever get to a point where I don’t want to go recruiting and can’t get excited about it, then maybe it’s time. That’s a pretty good indication that’s probably it. And I haven’t reached that point at all yet Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

It was not the story of design or clothes, it was the fantasy of women that made me want to work in fashion Picture Quote #1

What is beautiful for you may not be beautiful to someone else. Or whatever is beautiful here may not be beautiful there and what is sometimes beautiful today is not necessarily beautiful tomorrow. Perhaps this is the story of fashion and what makes it move forward, the fact that there is no decision whatsoever with what’s wrong Picture Quote #1

If you’ve heard this story before, don’t stop me, because I’d like to hear it again Picture Quote #1

My life is kinda like a story that if I told you about it, you probably wouldn’t believe. It would seem like fiction. That’s me Picture Quote #1

The telling of stories, like singing and praying, would seem to be an almost ceremonial act, an ancient and necessary mode of speech that tends the earthly rootedness of human language. For narrated events always happen somewhere. And for an oral culture, that location is never merely incidental to those occurrences. The events belong, as it were, to the place, and to tell the story of those events is to let the place itself speak through the telling Picture Quote #1

The rivers flow long distances and their goodness spreads all over far and wide. We are far from each other but our love for each other is creating a story that will forever be remembered Picture Quote #1

Those two volleys really could be the story of this match summed up at the end of it Picture Quote #1

You can throw away the privilege of acting, but that would be such a shame. The tribe has elected you to tell its story. You are the shaman/healer, that’s what the storyteller is, and I think it’s important for actors to appreciate that. Too often actors think it’s all about them, when in reality it’s all about the audience being able to recognize themselves in you. The more you pull away from the public, the less power you have on screen Picture Quote #1

Oftentimes the quality of the light tells the story: the time of day, the weather, whether sun is streaming through the window. It can also help you appreciate what the actor is feeling, what the playwright wants you to feel. Any engineer can put a spot on someone Picture Quote #1

I’ve taught both screenwriting and playwriting, and playwriting is both much harder and much more rewarding. One can teach people how to tell a story in cinematic ways, but theater is a much more elusive craft Picture Quote #1

For me, photographs take their power from memory and emotion. A picture tells its own story, shaped by the mood or insights of the person you are at the time you see it Picture Quote #1

Don’t ask your readers to admire your words when you want them to believe your story Picture Quote #1

I didn’t think before that I’d done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I’m now ready to tell my story Picture Quote #1

I like less the story that a frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be killed, boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behaviour Picture Quote #1

The reason why I love people, and writing about them, is because they don’t always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldn’t have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? I’m interested in the exceptions Picture Quote #1

We have to have a version of our own story that we keep telling ourselves that allows us to get up in the morning. This version of yourself is what you sell to yourself. I think it necessarily includes... not looking at certain things. Everybody’s got some blind spot Picture Quote #1

I think it’s important to leave spaces in a story for readers to fill in from their own experience Picture Quote #1

In my youth I loved climbing and scrambling up rocks and mountains: now I seldom intrude on the dweller of a second story, and my greatest enemy or friend may avoid me altogether on the third; so humbled is the aspiring spirit of my youth Picture Quote #1
