Oral Quotes

What I love about jazz is that it’s full of legends, full of myths. It’s an oral history because it started in New Orleans and Kansas City, under the radar Picture Quote #1

My very first lessons in the art of telling stories took place in the kitchen . . . my mother and three or four of her friends. . . told stories. . .with effortless art and technique. They were natural-born storytellers in the oral tradition Picture Quote #1

First and foremost, I’m an oral storyteller - I’ll make a poetic choice over a grammatical choice every single time Picture Quote #1

When I am king, I will revise the sexual bases system so that getting to first base will include oral sex and sodomy! Picture Quote #1

A necessary part of our intelligence is on the line as the oral tradition becomes less and less important. There was a time throughout our land when it was common for stories to be told and retold, a most valuable exercise, for the story retold is the story reexamined over and over again at different levels of intellectual and emotional growth Picture Quote #1

If I have sex, I know my quarterly estimated taxes must be due. And if it’s oral sex, I know it’s time to renew my driver’s license Picture Quote #1

A good part of ‘The Information’ is about the transition from an oral to a literary culture. Books effected such a great transformation in the way we think about the world, our history, our logic, mathematics, you name it. I think we would be greatly diminished as a people and as a culture if the book became obsolete Picture Quote #1

In health we’re doing the digestive system. We each got assigned a topic for an oral report. I got the small intestine. I swear to God I hate my life Picture Quote #1

There’s been resistance to every new technology that’s ever been introduced. When books came out hundreds of years ago, there were complaints that it would destroy the oral tradition. Some of those fears were justified, but it didn’t stop the rise of the written word. And books have proven to be incredibly useful Picture Quote #1

The most nerve-wracking experience is an oral presentation in class. And right under that would be doing ‘Saturday Night Live’ or ‘David Letterman.’ One of those shows Picture Quote #1

Mushy food is a form of sensory deprivation. In the same way that a dark, silent room will eventually drive you to hallucinate, the mind rebels against bland, single-texture foods, edibles that do not engage the oral device Picture Quote #1

Short forms are returning online. Interactivity is coming back; it was always there in oral storytelling Picture Quote #1

Much of my experience with language was formed in the church, which has an oral tradition. There are lots of repetitions in prayers and song refrains. There’s a sense of incantation, that if you call not once and not twice but for a third time, the spirit appears Picture Quote #1

There can’t be a pure myth, especially when the myth has been handed down in the oral tradition. As the stories are told, they change. If the stories don’t change they just die Picture Quote #1

Libido, fascination, too much oral defecation. White trash get down on your knees, time for cake and sodomy Picture Quote #1

Oral Roberts was a man of God and a great friend in ministry. I loved him as a brother Picture Quote #1

To starve a child of the spell of the story, of the canter of the poem, oral or written, is a kind of living burial. It is to immure him in emptiness Picture Quote #1

The telling of stories, like singing and praying, would seem to be an almost ceremonial act, an ancient and necessary mode of speech that tends the earthly rootedness of human language. For narrated events always happen somewhere. And for an oral culture, that location is never merely incidental to those occurrences. The events belong, as it were, to the place, and to tell the story of those events is to let the place itself speak through the telling Picture Quote #1

A particular place in the land is never, for an oral culture, just a passive or inert setting for the human events that occur there. It is an active participant in those occurrences. Indeed, by virtue of its underlying and enveloping presence, the place may even be felt to be the source, the primary power that expresses itself through the various events that unfold there Picture Quote #1

I’ve always used the technique of the cuento. I am an oral storyteller, but now I do it on the printed page. I think if we were very wise we would use that same tradition in video cassettes, in movies, and on radio Picture Quote #1

The ear plays the role of the guide in the museum in the concert I’m taking now. We don’t have an oral guide, we have to provide it ourselves. One reason why active listening is absolutely essential Picture Quote #1

Prom night can be a special night, if you let it be. I know you think it’s for losers and something that popular kids do because they are boring people with porcelain hearts who don’t know what it means to be lonely. But you’re wrong. Prom is a chance for everyone to try oral sex. Go for it Picture Quote #1

Admittedly, key archival documentation remains under lock and key and will be inaccessible for a long time to come. But enough material is available, in the form of declassified documents, memoirs, oral histories and journalistic treatments, to begin to piece together the story Picture Quote #1

Oral storytelling goes back so long ago, and those stories that were told orally were always layered and changed with time Picture Quote #1

Poetry carries its history within it, and it is oral in origin. Its transmission was oral Picture Quote #1

Receiving oral sex from an ugly person is like rock climbing; you should never look down Picture Quote #1

Nothing so sharpens the thought process as writing down one’s arguments. Weaknesses overlooked in oral discussion become painfully obvious on the written page Picture Quote #1

Exclusively oral cultures are unencumbered by dead knowledge, dead facts. Libraries, on the other hand, are full of them Picture Quote #1

I believe it is important to speak to your readers in person... to enable people to have a whole picture of me; I have to both write and speak. I view my role as writer and also as oral communicator Picture Quote #1

It is also one of the pleasures of oral biography, in that the reader, rather than editor, is jury Picture Quote #1
