stories

We can free ourselves from the old stories that have reduced us & allow real love for ourselves to blossom.

What spares us is memory,_ he said. __t__ what makes us worth saving. However low we sink, whatever promise we no longer fulfill, we tell our stories. That__ why you__e so important, Charlie. You__e a guardian of our national memory.

People who care nothing for their country's stories and songs,' he said, 'are like people without a past- without a memory- they are half people

Our dreams and stories may contain implicit aspects of our lives even without our awareness. In fact, storytelling may be a primary way in which we can linguistically communicate to others__s well as to ourselves__he sometimes hidden contents of our implicitly remembering minds. Stories make available perspectives on the emotional themes of our implicit memory that may otherwise be consciously unavailable to us. This may be one reason why journal writing and intimate communication with others, which are so often narrative processes, have such powerful organizing effects on the mind: They allow us to modulate our emotions and make sense of the world.

Most have been forgotten. Most deserve to be forgotten. The heroes will always be remembered. The best. The best and the worst. And a few who were a bit of both.

There is only Love -- and Stories. All else is but a shadow dream.

Love that Literature.

Run your purpose on the toes of your feet before people can type your success stories with the fingers of their hands.

You need to know the constituency you belong to...and that is revealed by your constituents. When your constituents are speaking in public and making of stories, your constituency can be "journalism".

You keep your followers confused when you begin very well and give up too early... Suspense is useful in movies, but useless when writing your success stories!

Often, the best stories aren't when someone pulls one 180-degree turn, but when someone pulls 180 one-degree turns: the stories when someone experiences a slow and, at times, indistinguishable evolution; the stories where a million tiny steps produce something so brilliant; the stories where perseverance and struggle go hand in hand.

old stories are like old friends (...) you have to visit them from time to time.

The possibilities were endless. Battles would be fought. Wonders revealed. Many journeys. Many lands. Many joys. Many sorrows.But stories all...

You can do more with a castle in a story than with the best cardboard castle that ever stood on a nursery table.

How convinced are you that man was created in the image of God when you can't see the image of God?

We live vicariously through stories, because our own lives provide so few opportunities for high-stakes adventure and noble sacrifice.

I always strive to create a setting that leaves the readers' imagination room to roam. That way, every reader sees the story through their own eyes.

I like the fact that kids are willing to be imaginative and go along with me when I'm telling strange tales.
