Text Quotes
The easier an experience, or the more entrenched, or the more familiar, the fainter our sensation of it becomes. This is true of chocolate and marriages and hometowns and narrative structures. Complexities wane, miracles become unremarkable, and if we’re not careful, pretty soon we’re gazing out at our lives as if through a burlap sack (Narrative Quotes)
If you have distance from the events, then your story can work as an analogy or parable rather than its literal narrative (Narrative Quotes)
We impose order and narrative on everything in order to understand it. Otherwise, there’s nothing but chaos (Narrative Quotes)
Rebellion is not going to go away... What has been unleashed, I think, can’t be stopped... The importance of continuing acts of resistance is that it keeps this narrative alive... We speak a fundamental truth about this system that terrifies them (Narrative Quotes)
The most compelling narrative, expressed in sentences with which I have no chemical reaction, or an adverse one, leaves me cold (Narrative Quotes)
No matter how stark the reality, a human being fits it into a narrative that is palatable (Narrative Quotes)
In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren’t absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources (Narrative Quotes)
Wherever a story comes from, whether it is a familiar myth or a private memory, the retelling exemplifies the making of a connection from one pattern to another: a potential translation in which narrative becomes parable and the once upon a time comes to stand for some renascent truth. This approach applies to all the incidents of everyday life: the phrase in the newspaper, the endearing or infuriating game of a toddler, the misunderstanding at the office. Our species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories (Narrative Quotes)
Most people who seek attention and regard by announcing that they’re writing a novel are actually so devoid of narrative talent that they can’t hold the attention of a dinner table for thirty seconds, even with a dirty joke (Narrative Quotes)
With fiction, you can talk about plot, character and narrative, whereas a poem brings home the fact that everything that happens in a work of literature happens in terms of language. And this is daunting stuff to deal with (Narrative Quotes)
An action movie should, like any other, follow the narrative traditions of literature. That means there should be subtlety, a slow build and a gradual bringing together of all the separate threads of the plot. To see all of it coming together slowly is very rewarding for the audience (Narrative Quotes)
I had never thought that I would be involved in narrative structures. As a young guy, I was more interested in abstract modeling. But as I got older, I began to see that there was no reason to limit myself to any intellectual or conceptual postulate, when in fact I’m a professional student of music (Narrative Quotes)
I learned there’s an amazing unexplored territory in terms of narrative. Before, I thought the unexplored territory was the form, the way you shoot a movie. Now, I’m learning about the beautiful marriage between form and narrative (Narrative Quotes)
I don’t believe that narrative works when it’s trying to teach a lesson or speak a factual truth (Narrative Quotes)
My stories are sometimes closer to poems or meditations, but often there is at least a little narrative in them (Narrative Quotes)
I’m quite interested in the absolute roots of narrative, why we tell stories at all: where the monsters come from (Narrative Quotes)
In every debate, whatever the format, whatever the questions, there is one and only one way to identify the winner: Who commands the room? Who drives the narrative? Who is in charge? (Narrative Quotes)
It may seem unfashionable to say so, but historians should seize the imagination as well as the intellect. History is, in a sense, a story, a narrative of adventure and of vision, of character and of incident. It is also a portrait of the great general drama of the human spirit (Narrative Quotes)
Randomness I love. And I still love just a holler right in the middle of an ongoing narrative. Pain or joy, ecstasy (Narrative Quotes)
Magazine stories, the best ones anyway, are generally a combination of three elements: access, narrative, and disclosure (Narrative Quotes)
I always wanted to be a scientist, I always thought I’d be a scientist, that was the narrative I was carrying around. I worked in a neuroscience lab as an undergraduate and then after, almost five years in total, but I realized I just wasn’t good at science. I didn’t have the discipline for it (Narrative Quotes)
As far as what I do, my value as a writer is certainly not to try to recapitulate a 19th century form. Certain styles of narrative don’t conform to my style of experiencing the world (Narrative Quotes)
I have to say that movies have as much impact on me as music. And that I learned as much about narrative from movies as I did from reading novels, how to arrange stories, how to juxtapose things (Narrative Quotes)
I do think that the abiding mystery of my origins has definitely had a profound effect upon my writing. There is that thing in the back of my mind where I think I don’t really know who I am. And it may make it a little easier to shift around in my narrative voice (Narrative Quotes)
In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together, well yeah, there’s definitely going to be a little bit of the author in that. But there’s nothing wrong with that (Narrative Quotes)
I’m fascinated by the narrative of geology, and I’m a veritable pack rat of a collector on the road. I keep a rock hammer in my car (Narrative Quotes)
I was not a particularly brave child, I think, because I had a narrative mind, because my mind automatically went to any terrible thing that could happen (Narrative Quotes)
Be it sculpture, poetry, or narrative fraught with terrible insight... art does endure. It troubles and pleases, inspires, and reminds us that humanity is ever capable of adding to the sum of the world’s grave beauty (Narrative Quotes)
The word story is intended to alert the reader to the fact that, however closely the narrative may fit the facts, the fictional process has been at work (Narrative Quotes)
Some people think or expect that you should make the same kinds of art forever because it creates a convenient narrative... I want my work to embody my inherent contradictions (Narrative Quotes)
