Story Quotes

I want people with epilepsy to know that there are ways in which they can play a role in their own recovery. It’s all in how they approach what is happening and how they can use that as a catalyst for their own growth. If there’s one thing that I’ve learned, it’s that people are willing to embrace you if you share your story Picture Quote #1

When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t find any meaning for my life when I was out there, I’m sure as hell not going to find it in here. This is the grand finale of a life poorly spent and the end result is just overwhelmingly depressing... it’s just a sick, pathetic, wretched, miserable life story, that’s all it is. How it can help anyone, I’ve no idea Picture Quote #1

I believe you shouldn’t force the audience’s interpretation of a character or a story. The more you explain things, the less intriguing and imaginable they are for viewers... Film to me, in its essence, in its ultimate nature, is silent. Music and dialogue are there to fill what is lacking in the image. But you should be able to tell the story with moving pictures alone. For my next project, though, I’d like to make the kind of film where the characters blabber all the time Picture Quote #1

Actually, who hasn’t been through the ghastly experience of sitting in front of a blank page, with its toothless mouth grinning at you: Go ahead, let’s see you lay a finger on me? A blank page is actually a whitewashed wall with no door and no window. Beginning to tell a story is like making a pass at a total stranger in a restaurant Picture Quote #1

Yes, the first draft is the key. That’s why I put so much energy, focus, and attention on the first draft, because I respect that first go at the story. If I don’t have the key in that first draft, I invariably won’t get it in subsequent drafts, though I can craft around it Picture Quote #1

Every film I have made has corresponded to a very special moment of my life. I like to think that if someone wanted to reconstruct the story of my life, they can just see my movies and know what I have been through Picture Quote #1

For the collection, I am like a painter or a writer. I may or may not be a character in my own story Picture Quote #1

An enlightened entertainer, via story, casts her line into the souls of others, hooks their heart, and pulls their greater potential to the surface Picture Quote #1

Humans will always tell you the story. Dogs can only tell you the truth. Trust your instincts and listen your dog Picture Quote #1

Surviving a loss and letting go is only half of the story. The other half is the secret belief that we will find, in one form or another, what we have lost. And it is that potential, shimmery as a star on a clear night that helps us survives Picture Quote #1

Story writers say that love is concerned only with young people, and the excitement and glamour of romance end at the altar. How blind they are. The best romance is inside marriage; the finest love stories come after the wedding, not before Picture Quote #1

Pain is as common as skin, we all experience it. It unites us all. Fortunately, that’s not the whole story Picture Quote #1

You can tell a story clearly in the storyboards, but if you don’t keep the correct focus in the animation, it can be ruined Picture Quote #1

I had a very linear story line for this particular play, and I wanted to open the piece up a bit, so I started doing that with my writing. I would describe fragments of scenes on index cards, then move the card around to see how it changed the piece Picture Quote #1

To me, one of the greatest triumphs in doing a book is to tell the story as simply as possible. My aim is to imply rather than to overstate. Whenever the reader participates with his own interpretation, I feel that the book is much more successful. I write with the premise that less is more. Writing is not difficult to me. I read into a tape recorder, constantly dropping a word here and there from my manuscript until I get a minimum amount of words to say exactly what I want to say. Each time I drop a word or two, it brings me a sense of victory! Picture Quote #1

Once I have the story in my head, I write it down. The illustrations usually come last Picture Quote #1

I feel like it’s hard to get into historical novels where you know what the story is far too well Picture Quote #1

You can’t always see both sides of the story. Eventually, you have to pick a side and stick with it. No more equivocating. You have to commit Picture Quote #1

A story must simmer in its own juice for months or even years before it’s ready to serve Picture Quote #1

I will say, in open adoption, all these choices you make about race, about the amount of mental illness you can deal with, about special needs and physical maladies, you have to lay all this out there before you know anybody’s story Picture Quote #1

I carry the landscape inside me like an ache. The story of who I am cannot be severed from the story of the flatwoods Picture Quote #1

I just want to make sure I could tell my story the way I want to tell it. I just want to own my truth Picture Quote #1

The dioxin story is the story of how science has failed to provide us with answers, how corporations control policymaking and decisions in our society, and how government is silenced Picture Quote #1

The greatest compliment a writer can be given is that a story and character hold a reader spellbound. Im caught up in the story writing and I miss a good deal of sleep thinking about it and working out the plot points Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to spell out a story. I still think you feel the painting, and the reason you read the mark is because you also feel the mark Picture Quote #1

Without the silence that follows the chants, you get only half the story. It’s like the climax of a good story. The silence is there because it exists in the music. It just needs to be exposed and acknowledged Picture Quote #1

When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise Picture Quote #1

I think hope is not simply looking around and saying that everything’s great – that’s just ridiculous. For hope to have substance, it has to acknowledge the pain. But hope is saying that’s not the final story. It’s not saying pain doesn’t exist, but it’s saying there’s not a period at the end of that sentence. It’s still being written Picture Quote #1

Because having your story told, as a woman, as a person of color, as a lesbian or as a trans person, or as any member of any disenfranchised community... is sadly often still a radical idea. There is so much power in storytelling and there is enormous power in inclusive storytelling and inclusive representations Picture Quote #1
