Text Quotes
If you don’t get excited about the gospel, you’ve never really grasped what it’s telling you (Telling Quotes)
Burnout is nature’s way of telling you, you’ve been going through the motions your soul has departed; you’re a zombie, a member of the walking dead, a sleepwalker. False optimism is like administrating stimulants to an exhausted nervous system (Telling Quotes)
All lives are tales. Some spread, and grow in the telling. Others are just told between us and the gods, muttered back and forth behind our days, but those tales grow too and shake us just as fierce (Telling Quotes)
We are our stories. We tell them to stay alive or keep alive those who only live now in the telling (Telling Quotes)
A man is not merely a man but a man among men, in a world of men. Being good at being a man has more to do with a man’s ability to succeed with men and within groups of men than it does with a man’s relationship to any woman or any group of women. When someone tells a man to be a man, they are telling him to be more like other men, more like the majority of men, and ideally more like the men who other men hold in high regard (Telling Quotes)
The real difference between telling what happened and telling a story about what happened is that instead of being a victim of our past, we become master of it (Telling Quotes)
Anyone telling about his travels must be a liar,... for if a traveler doesn’t visit his narrative with the spirit and techniques of fiction, no one will want to hear it (Telling Quotes)
Telling takes away the need to write. It relieves the pressure. And once that tension dissipates, so does the need to relieve it. First write it, then we’ll talk about it (Telling Quotes)
Authentic journalism is telling people something that the government doesn’t want them to know (Telling Quotes)
The biggest lie is the idea that we are entitled to a meaningful and coherent summarizing, a conclusion, of something which never concludes. In that regard, this is the lie I’m telling myself so I don’t set fire to anything (Telling Quotes)
God gave music the power to carry his light into the darkness. That’s a mighty privilege. It means intentionally telling stories and writing songs that bear truth that outlasts the songs themselves. If I did this in hopes of thunderous applause and piles of cash, I would have quit years ago. But there are moments on the stage when I sense something magical, a connection with the band and the audience, when our stories intersect and suddenly we’re wading in an ancient river. Suddenly the song is secondary to the greater story being told through each of us (Telling Quotes)
Anyone who tells you they know the future is telling you the most grotesque lie, because none of us do (Telling Quotes)
Listen to your dreams. They are the whispers of your heart telling you all you’ll ever need to be happy (Telling Quotes)
A happy ending isn’t really the end. It’s just the place where you choose to stop telling the story (Telling Quotes)
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 (Telling Quotes)
Voices surround us, always telling us to move faster. It may be our boss, our pastor, our parents, our wives, our husbands, our politicians, or, sadly, even ourselves. So we comply. We increase the speed. We live life in the fast lane because we have no slow lanes anymore. Every lane is fast, and the only comfort our culture can offer is more lanes and increased speed limits. The result? Too many of us are running as fast as we can, and an alarming number of us are running much faster than we can sustain (Telling Quotes)
Writers shouldn’t underestimate the difficulty of what they’re doing, and they should treat it with great seriousness. You’re doing something that really matters, you’re telling stories that have an impact on other people and on the culture. You should tell the best stories you can possibly tell and put everything you’ve got into it (Telling Quotes)
Go with your gut every single time. It’s never, ever wrong. Even if feels like everybody else is telling you that you need to do this or do that. Your gut is your artist and who you are as a person and what makes you special, and what makes you an interesting performer. Never try to be something you’re not (Telling Quotes)
If I belong to a tradition it is a tradition that makes the masterpiece tell the performer what he should do and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the composer what he ought to have composed (Telling Quotes)
How do you do original work when culture is telling you which font face to use, which layout (Telling Quotes)
As a writer, I am just an actor in a play, telling a story that needs to be told (Telling Quotes)
I am in a very peculiar business: I travel all over the world telling people what they should already know (Telling Quotes)
Contrary to what our brains are telling us, there’s no mystical force that imbues a winner with a streak of luck, nor is there a cosmic sense of justice that ensures that a loser’s luck will turn around. The universe doesn’t care one whit whether you’ve been winning or losing; each roll of the dice is just like every other (Telling Quotes)
We find it easy to believe that praise is sincere: why should anyone lie in telling us the truth? (Telling Quotes)
If your intuition is telling you not to do something, then don’t. Your intuition is not stupid (Telling Quotes)
Honest people know that the road to success and virtue always involves shared sacrifice, hard work, and gratification postponed. Telling people otherwise isn’t leadership, it is pandering (Telling Quotes)
We don’t tend to ask where a lake comes from. It lies before us, contained and complete, tantalizing in its depth but not its origin. A river is a different kind of mystery, a mystery of distance and becoming, a mystery of source. Touch its fluent body and you touch far places. You touch a story that must end somewhere but cannot stop telling itself, a story that is always just beginning (Telling Quotes)
If I don’t like someone and I start reading their stuff, it seems like my brain will just automatically start criticizing everything that’s there. It’s really hard to read a book without having all this outside information telling you what to think about it (Telling Quotes)
If your clients aren’t actively telling their friends about you, maybe your work isn’t as great as you think it is (Telling Quotes)
I knew little, but at least I knew that: no one could speak for someone else. That although we might want to tell other people’s stories, we always end up telling our own (Telling Quotes)
