Stories Quotes (page 37)

My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ. Sinead O'Connor

But every day I tell my story, and be comfortable with my story and be comfortable with what I've done, and what I did, and how I am today, it lessens the likelihood it will ever happen. Lawrence Taylor
I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story. Al Yankovic
Obviously sex and nudity sells, but that's what people go to cable for but that's not going to happen on network daytime television... so I think it really is always going to come down to story. How do you make a story interesting enough so people will tune in? That's always going to be it. Jack Wagner
Mark Haddon quote: "I knew there was a story; once you find a dog with a fork..."
I knew there was a story; once you find a dog with a fork through it, you know there's a story there. Mark Haddon
The deadlines are much, much longer with books. When I was a reporter, a lot of times I'd come in at 8:30 a. m., get an assignment right away, interview somebody, turn the story in by 9:30, and have the finished story in the paper that landed on my desk by noon. Margaret Haddix
