Story Quotes

Sometimes a book isn’t a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it’s the only story you know how to tell Picture Quote #1

Your excuses will never be as good as the story of how you got it done Picture Quote #1

If you want me to explain the picture, if you put it in reality, then the mystery goes away. The situation just catches you and you think it is absurd or mysterious and you just take the picture. You don’t want to see the bare reality of what happened. I took the picture as the picture, not as the realistic story of what happened Picture Quote #1

Living is really pretty simple. Living happens right now; it doesn’t happen back then, and it doesn’t happen out there. Living is not the story of your life. Living is the process of experiencing right now Picture Quote #1

To me, reading through old letters and journals is like treasure hunting. Somewhere in those faded, handwritten lines there is a story that has been packed away in a dusty old box for years Picture Quote #1

For a novelist, the gaps in a story are as intriguing as material that still exists Picture Quote #1

When thousands of people discover that their story is also someone else’s story, they have the chance to write a new story together Picture Quote #1

I do feel that if you can write one good sentence and then another good sentence and then another, you end up with a good story Picture Quote #1

Put down the weight of your aloneness and ease into the conversation. Pay attention to everything in the world as if it’s alive. Realize everything has its own discrete existence outside your story. By doing this, you open to gifts and lessons that the world has to give you Picture Quote #1

A happy ending isn’t really the end. It’s just the place where you choose to stop telling the story Picture Quote #1

My father once told me that a happy ending is just the place where you choose to stop telling the story. So this is where I choose to stop. More things are still going to happen, of course, some good, some bad. Some things never get any better. When people die they stay dead. None of us knows why we love, or why we stop loving, or why everyone we love we lose Picture Quote #1

Once you know the end of the story, every part of the story contains that end, and is only a way of reaching it Picture Quote #1

Behind the story I tell is the one I don’t... Behind the story you hear is the one I wish I could make you hear Picture Quote #1

It’s not always to the benefit of the story to have it so preordained Picture Quote #1

Story isn’t a flight from reality but a vehicle that carries us on our search for reality Picture Quote #1

I have found that in fiction one is freer to speak the truth, if only because in fiction the truth is not expected or required. You may easily disguise it, so that it is only recognized much later, when the story and the characters have faded into darkness Picture Quote #1

The big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what’s the right way to tell a particular story Picture Quote #1

All poets and story tellers alive today make a single brotherhood; they are engaged in a single work, picturing our human life. Whoever pictures life as he sees it, reassembles in his own way the details of existence which affect him deeply, and so creates a spiritual world of his own Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to hear the story of a love affair between two straight men, one of whom is the most divine woman alive Picture Quote #1

Never tell a story because it is true: tell it because it is a good story Picture Quote #1

There is no absolute beginning to any story, after all. There is only the moment you begin watching Picture Quote #1

Angels, demons, sex. Heaven, hell, war. Blood and royalty, history and magic, fire and ice. And a story you cannot put down. This is fantasy at its best Picture Quote #1

I think if a story has a message it should be incidental and accidental, otherwise it leans too close to indoctrination Picture Quote #1

All my tales are true, drawn from life, and a life story is not a tidy thing Picture Quote #1

That’s the strange thing about a good story. No pleasure if you can’t share it Picture Quote #1

Every cuisine tells a story. Jewish food tells the story of an uprooted, migrating people and their vanished worlds. It lives in people’s minds and has been kept alive because of what it evokes and represents Picture Quote #1

Failure is just a tax on the way to success. It is inevitable but it is not the whole story Picture Quote #1

To err is to wander, and wandering is the way we discover the world; and, lost in thought, it is also the way we discover ourselves. Being right might be gratifying, but in the end it is static, a mere statement. Being wrong is hard and humbling, and sometimes even dangerous, but in the end it is a journey, and a story Picture Quote #1

Our home tells a story about us, so we may as well take the opportunity to make it a stylish one Picture Quote #1

I have always thought that librarians are a little bit like doctors, travel agents and professors all rolled into one. We all know that a great story can lift spirits, take you anywhere in the world you want to go and in any time period to boot, and the lessons you learn from a good book can buoy your own convictions and even change your life Picture Quote #1
