Story Quotes

When a person is lucky enough to live inside a story, to live inside an imaginary world, the pains of this world disappear. For as long as the story goes on, reality no longer exists Picture Quote #1

There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story Picture Quote #1

I have heard it said that a complicated childhood can lead to a life in the arts. I tell you this story of my father and me to let you know I am qualified to be a comedian Picture Quote #1

Trust me, I’m telling you stories... I can change the story. I am the story Picture Quote #1

When I returned home that day, I saw my life as if I already knew the happy ending of a story. I looked around the house and thought, soon I will no longer have to see these walls and all the unhappiness they keep inside Picture Quote #1

I had forgotten that, and so many things. How could I put everything down on paper? It seemed impossible. No matter what, the majority of life would be left out of this story, this sliver of a version of the life I’d known. But I tried anyway Picture Quote #1

It’s a story of love, of hatred, and of the dreams that live in the shadow of the wind Picture Quote #1

My books hold between their covers every story I’ve ever known and still remember, or have now forgotten, or may one day read; they fill the space around me with ancient and new voices Picture Quote #1

You’d tell the world what your best friend wore to sleep if you thought it made a good enough story Picture Quote #1

So many versions of just one memory, and yet none of them were right or wrong. Instead, they were all pieces. Only when fitted together, edge to edge, could they even begin to tell the whole story Picture Quote #1

I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered Picture Quote #1

Pieces and parts were always easier to process. The full picture, the entire story, was another thing entirely. But you just never knew. Sometimes, people could surprise you Picture Quote #1

The story is one that you and I will construct together in your memory. If the story means anything to you at all, then when you remember it afterward, think of it, not as something I created, but rather as something that we made together Picture Quote #1

When asked for advice by beginners. Know your ending, I say, or the river of your story may finally sink into the desert sands and never reach the sea Picture Quote #1

You must reach inside yourselves where I live like a story, not old, not young laughing at my own sorrow, weeping pearls at weddings, wielding a torch to melt sand into something clear and bright Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to tell the story of myself, but someone I called myself. If you read yourself as fiction, it’s rather more liberating than reading yourself as fact Picture Quote #1

I choose this story above all others because it’s a story I’m struggling to end Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what the definition of pornography is and nobody else does either. Pornography is somebody else’s erotica that you don’t like. People are interested in their own sexuality and they’ve always reflected it in their art. End of story Picture Quote #1

This is as much a part of my story as anything else. Friendship is love as much as any romance Picture Quote #1

Of course, in a novel, people’s hearts break, and they die and that is the end of it; and in a story this is very convenient. But in real life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us Picture Quote #1

The world is dark, and light is precious. Come closer, dear reader. You must trust me. I am telling you a story Picture Quote #1

And so he was reading the story as if it were a spell and the words of it, spoken aloud, could make magic happen Picture Quote #1

Our story has three parts: a beginning, a middle, and an end. And although this is the way all stories unfold, I still can’t believe that ours didn’t go on forever Picture Quote #1

It is the story that owns and directs us. It is the thing that makes us different from cattle; it is the mark on the face that sets one people apart from their neighbors Picture Quote #1

Story is the umbilical cord that connects us to the past, present, and future. Family. Story is a relationship between the teller and the listener, a responsibility... Story is an affirmation of our ties to one another Picture Quote #1

A story has no beginning or end: arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead Picture Quote #1

A little bit of one story joins onto an idea from another, and hey presto,... not old tales but new ones. Nothing comes from nothing Picture Quote #1

Sooner or later, everyone’s story has an unfortunate event or two... The solution, of course, is to stay as far away from the world as possible and lead a safe, simple life Picture Quote #1

If you don’t turn your life into a story, you just become a part of someone else’s story Picture Quote #1

We are told not to privilege one story above another. All the stories must be told. Well, maybe that’s true, maybe all stories are worth hearing, but not all stories are worth telling Picture Quote #1
