In times like these I always cheered myself up with a certain story. I forgot just when I first heard it, or who I heard it from… but, back when I was young it would...

I guess what’s most surprised me in most of the reviews is that they don’t seem to get the noir story in the dream sequence, so they analyze it like a straight noir movie.

When you write a story, don’t just write it – live it;When putting words into the mouth of a protagonist (or any character) imagine yourself saying them and while writing about the reaction of the...

Once upon a time, there was a story. But no one to tell it.

In Pliny I read about the invention of clay modeling. A Sicyonian potter came to Corinth. There his daughter fell in love with a young man who had to make frequent long journeys away from...

I definitely am a performer, and there are different styles of stand-up; I mean, some people are writers and they get onstage to get jokes out, and that’s definitely not what I do. I like...

There really is only one story that you need to tell as a scientist or a technologist. It’s Prometheus stealing fire. That’s it. That’s what we do as scientists or technologists.

A story just isn’t a story without a dragon.

I’d realized that in writing happiness is useless-without suffering there is no story.

That’s what makes a good show. It doesn’t target one group. It tells a story everyone gets.

The more ‘life’ a story has the more readily will it be susceptible of allegorical interpretations: while the better a deliberate allegory is made the more nearly will it be acceptable just as a story.

My story is important not because it is mine, God knows, but because if I tell it anything like right, the chances are you will recognize that in many ways it is also yours… it...

Don’t tell me that I can’t do it. Go and tell God that story. After all, He is the one who gave me the air to breath and be able to do it well! Go!

So it’s happened, I kept thinking, you’re in the middle of a story exactly as you’ve always wanted, and it’s horrible. Fear tastes quite different when you’re not just reading about it, Meggie, and playing...

I think a story should take as long to tell as it is appropriate to that particular story.

I listen to the rain talk to the leaves. She tells a story of love and leaving (isn’t that always the story? Isn’t that always the punchline?) She tells it softly like someone who has...

Saved or searching, we all need to be reminded of God’s interest in us individually and His love for us personally.

Don’t overact the story of your name. Overact the story of your work.

The words we construct, the poems we write and the songs we sing, become the love story of a stranger we have never seen.

Whatever I experienced in the world that I didn’t understand I’d invent a story and workout my understanding of something through the story.

The meaning did not precede the dream; the dream preceded the meaning. So the way to read the tale is to let the imagination carry one along. Not, above all, as a rebus to be...

Of, course it always cheers a news editor when a story has what we describe as ‘legs’ therefore it, erm, runs.

Physics is the story of matter, with strings or particles.

Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story. (from...

In life, every ending is just the start of another story.

I’m not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published.

In our modern age, there are writers who have heaped scorn on the very idea of the primacy of story. I’d rather warm my hands on a sunlit ice floe than try to coax fire...

It’s always a mixture of fiction and your own story. It’s more I recreate atmospheres and moods through songs.

There are a lot of laughs in this movie, but it’s not just about the laughs. It’s really about the story, about a guy who finds his soul and realizes what’s truly important.

A story is built on characters and reasons.

Every story is informed by a worldview.

Real inspiration are not people, but their stories.

I’m aware of ‘Twilight,’ but I’ve never seen the movies or read any of the books. Frankly, the story leaves me cold – why do a vampire story about abstinence?

Only write a story that only you can write.

I always take a story that’s kind of out there, like an urban myth. I take some possibility that people imagine, that they are familiar with, and try to turn it into a story.

A good book ought to have something simple about it. And, like Eve, it ought to come from somewhere near the third rib: there ought to be a heart beating in it. A story that’s...
