Stories Quotes (page 79)

As a girl, she had come to believe in the ideal man -- the prince or knight of her childhood stories. In the real world, however, men like that simply didn't exist. Nicholas Sparks
As writers we live life twice, like a cow that eats its food once and then regurgitates it to chew and digest it again. We have a second chance at biting into our experience and examining it. ...This is our life and it's not going to last forever. There isn't time to talk about someday writing that short story or poem or novel. Slow down now, touch what is around you, and out of care and compassion for each moment and detail, put pen to paper and begin to write. Natalie Goldberg
There is nothing quite like this novel with its rage and ragings, its discontent and angry restlessness. Wuthering Heights is a virgin's story. Elizabeth Hardwick
So I have 8 to 10 screenplays written and unproduced. And frankly, some of them are my favorite stories. I have a Western version of The Count Of Monte Cristo where the count has a clockwork hand. I have a screenplay called Mephisto's Bridge about a Faustian deal with the devil. I love them all. Guillermo del Toro
I have tried to remove weight, sometimes from people, sometimes from heavenly bodies, sometimes from cities; above all I have tried to remove weight from the structure of stories and from language. Italo Calvino
Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell. Alan Moore
Gus the driver is everywhere and yet he appears nowhere, not in portraits or photographs, not even in the stories of men like Barthelme and Carver, who were all about guys with jobs and prospects like Gus's but who insisted on more sorrow, more angst, than Gus remotely manifests. If Gus weeps sometimes for no reason, if he stands despairing in the aisle of a Wal-Mart, it is not apparent in his daily demeanor... Michael Cunningham

And Elvex said, "I was the man." - In "Robot dreams" (Short story) Isaac Asimov
Samuel Beckett quote: "What I need now is stories, it took me a long time to know..."
What I need now is stories, it took me a long time to know that, and I'm not sure of it. Samuel Beckett
Roald Dahl quote: "I don't care if a reader hates one of my stories, Just as long..."
I don't care if a reader hates one of my stories, Just as long as he finishes the book. Roald Dahl
You ask me what you will be there. But what are you here? What are you creatures of Fantastica? Dreams, poetic inventions, characters in a neverending story. Do you think you're real? Well yes, here in your world you are. But when you been through the Nothing, you won't be real anymore. You'll be unrecognizable. And you will be in another world. In that world, you Fantasticans won't be anything like yourselves. You will bring delusion and madness into the human world. Michael Ende
George Lucas quote: "A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing."
A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing. George Lucas
IGNORANCE I didn’t know love would make me this crazy, with my eyes like the river Ceyhun carrying me in its rapids out to sea, where every bit of shattered boat sinks to the bottom. An alligator lifts its head and swallows the ocean, then the ocean floor becomes a desert covering the alligator in sand drifts. Changes do happen. I do not know how, or what remains of what has disappeared into the absolute. I hear so many stories and explanations, but I keep quiet, because I don’t know... Rumi
Gary Snyder quote: "What use, Milton, a silly story Of our lost general parents,..."
What use, Milton, a silly story Of our lost general parents, eaters of fruit? Gary Snyder
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "Quit drawing out the story"
Quit drawing out the story Laurell K. Hamilton
