Story Quotes

Why, I wonder, should the popularity of a news story matter to me? Does it mean it’s a good story or just a seductive one? Picture Quote #1

I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing Picture Quote #1

My own books drive themselves. I know roughly where a book is going to end, but essentially the story develops under my fingers. It’s just a matter of joining the dots Picture Quote #1

I don’t like books that play to the gallery, but I’ve become more concerned with telling a story as clearly and engagingly as I can Picture Quote #1

I’m not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story Picture Quote #1

The whole story of migration and what that has done in interconnecting the planet is obviously something I’ve written about a lot Picture Quote #1

The difference between memoir and autobiography, as far as I see it, is that a memoir is there primarily to tell one particular story, whereas an autobiography tries to be a full account of a life Picture Quote #1

When I’m writing a book, sentence by sentence, I’m not thinking theoretically. I’m just trying to work out the story from inside the characters I’ve got Picture Quote #1

When you read a short story, you come out a little more aware and a little more in love with the world around you. What I want is to have the reader come out just 6 percent more awake to the world Picture Quote #1

You become a different writer when you approach a short story. When things are not always having to represent other things, you find real human beings begin to cautiously appear on your pages Picture Quote #1

On stage, generally speaking, the story is stopped or held back by songs, because that’s the convention. Audiences enjoy the song and the singer, that’s the point Picture Quote #1

I always think if it’s a good story, the audience can’t wait to run out of the theater and go tweet somebody with the gist of a story, in a nutshell, almost, because it was that interesting Picture Quote #1

I go out and look for a good story to tell and if I like it enough and I decide to direct it, I become dangerously involved in becoming a part of that story Picture Quote #1

I would love to do a musical. I would love that. I would have to find the right book, the right story, but some day I’m going to make one. I would really like to go off and direct a musical. That’s what I would really like to do when I grow up Picture Quote #1

There’s no better way to test a person than to put them in the middle of a war. That’s clearly going to show what kind of a character you’re telling a story about Picture Quote #1

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that’s powerful Picture Quote #1

All of my favourite albums have this incredible amount of conceptual glue to them, even if they are not telling a story Picture Quote #1

My mother and father were both much more remarkable than any story of mine can make them. They seem to me just mythically wonderful Picture Quote #1

Sensationalism sells: Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story Picture Quote #1

I wrote the story myself. It’s about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it Picture Quote #1

I am a story teller. If I wanted to send a message I would have written a sermon Picture Quote #1

Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I’ve only found sorrow Picture Quote #1

Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty Picture Quote #1

The true story is vicious and multiple and untrue after all. Why do you need it? Don’t ever ask for the true story Picture Quote #1

A story was a form of telepathy. By means of inking symbols onto a page, she was able to send thoughts and feelings from her mind to her reader’s. It was a magical process, so commonplace that no one stopped to wonder at it Picture Quote #1

The cat sat on the mat is not a story. The cat sat on the other cat’s mat is a story Picture Quote #1

No story is a straight line. The geometry of a human life is too imperfect and complex, too distorted by the laughter of time and the bewildering intricacies of fate to admit the straight line into its system of laws Picture Quote #1

I will describe my eyes and then begin the story. My eyes are blue and resplendent. Now I will begin the story Picture Quote #1

After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love Picture Quote #1

It’s like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story Picture Quote #1
