And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life-- and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Jeanette Winterson quote: "This is not a love story, but love is in it. That is, love is..."
This is not a love story, but love is in it. That is, love is just outside it, looking for a way to break in. Jeanette Winterson

Lose the day loitering, 'twill be the same story. To-morrow, and the next more dilatory, For indecision brings its own delays, And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days. Are you in earnest?

If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful.

I get out of bed to trap them before they escape. Ray Bradbury

And the story of love is a long sad tale ending in graves. Jack Kerouac
Here follows the substance of what I said, written out entirely for your benefit. Pay attention to it, or you will be all abroad, when we get deeper into the story. Clear your mind of the children, or the dinner, or the new bonnet, or what not. Try if you can't forget politics, horses, prices in the city and grievances at the club. I hope you won't take this freedom on my part amiss; it's only a way I have of appealing to a gentle reader. Lord! haven't I seen you with the greatest authors in... Wilkie Collins
There are many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart was taking away its dream -- whatever that dream might be. Pearl S. Buck

I'll want to hear,' Samuel said. 'I eat stories like grapes. John Steinbeck
