Text Quotes
... show the other side, the one that gets people out of bed the next morning, makes them scratch and scrape and fight for their lives because someone is telling them that they’re going to be okay (Telling Quotes)
Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don’t do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us to live a life worth remembering (Telling Quotes)
Your very eyes. How they have always been for me the command to obey, the inviolable and beautiful commandment. No, no, I’m not telling lies. Your appearance in the doorway!... You have been my body’s health. Whenever I have read a book, it was you I was reading, not the book, you were the book. You were, you were (Telling Quotes)
Menders of all times and places have taught that silencing the thoughts in our heads and opening to the experience of the body and emotions is the basis of all healing. It’s the only means by which we can reclaim our true nature or feel the subtle cues telling us how to find our way through life (Telling Quotes)
If there is no honesty, there is no relationship. The only degree to which there is a relationship is the degree to which you are honest. Expressing your clear desires does not make you a dictator and you telling what you think, feel, and what you want or don’t want, is just called being honest. It doesn’t control him at all. You’re trying to control others by withholding information by not getting involved and by not being honest. Withholding information is a form of manipulation. It is dishonest and it’s destructive to a relationship (Telling Quotes)
What a teacher doesn’t say... is a telling part of what a student hears (Telling Quotes)
The healing that can grow out of the simple act of telling our stories is often quite remarkable. Even more remarkably, this healing is not just our own healing, it is the healing of all women. That’s why, as we tell our stories to ourselves, it is also important to share them with others. This sharing brings a sense of kinship, of sisterhood. We understand that we are not alone in our efforts to become conscious, whole, healthy persons (Telling Quotes)
If you keep telling the same sad small story. You will keep living the same sad small life (Telling Quotes)
There is no off position on my visual switch, and I don’t want one. I love, and always have, telling stories with my camera (Telling Quotes)
If you have a story that seems worth telling, and you think you can tell it worthily, then the thing for you to do is to tell it, regardless of whether it has to do with sex, sailors or mounted policemen (Telling Quotes)
There is nothing that is going to make people hate you more, and love you more, than telling the truth (Telling Quotes)
This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal (Telling Quotes)
Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change (Telling Quotes)
We read novels because we need stories; we crave them; we can’t live without telling them and hearing them. Stories are how we make sense of our lives and of the world. When we’re distressed and go to therapy, our therapist’s job is to help us tell our story. Life doesn’t come with plots; it’s messy and chaotic; life is one damn, inexplicable thing after another. And we can’t have that. We insist on meaning. And so we tell stories so that our lives make sense (Telling Quotes)
Music is very important. It’s important as a tool for learning, it can be a tool for healing, it can be no telling what, as long as we remain free to be able to create the music, to be able to experiment and to really research, and to really get time to develop the music (Telling Quotes)
Humor is falling downstairs if you do it in the act of telling your wife not to (Telling Quotes)
Listen to your dreams. They are the whispers of your heart telling you all you’ll ever need to be happy (Telling Quotes)
My father once told me that a happy ending is just the place where you choose to stop telling the story. So this is where I choose to stop. More things are still going to happen, of course, some good, some bad. Some things never get any better. When people die they stay dead. None of us knows why we love, or why we stop loving, or why everyone we love we lose (Telling Quotes)
Voices surround us, always telling us to move faster. It may be our boss, our pastor, our parents, our wives, our husbands, our politicians, or, sadly, even ourselves. So we comply. We increase the speed. We live life in the fast lane because we have no slow lanes anymore. Every lane is fast, and the only comfort our culture can offer is more lanes and increased speed limits. The result? Too many of us are running as fast as we can, and an alarming number of us are running much faster than we can sustain (Telling Quotes)
As a writer, I am just an actor in a play, telling a story that needs to be told (Telling Quotes)
Honest people know that the road to success and virtue always involves shared sacrifice, hard work, and gratification postponed. Telling people otherwise isn’t leadership, it is pandering (Telling Quotes)
I knew little, but at least I knew that: no one could speak for someone else. That although we might want to tell other people’s stories, we always end up telling our own (Telling Quotes)
Depression is the flip side of creative inspiration but it can be useful. It’s telling you to stop for a little bit. You can become so fully absorbed in the world of creative work that it can lead to some imbalance in your life (Telling Quotes)
I have a friend who is an excellent liar. His secret: Believe the lie yourself when you’re telling it (Telling Quotes)
We need art. We’ve been telling stories since the beginning. As human beings, we need it for our survival (Telling Quotes)
In our world of rampant individualisation, relationships are mixed blessings. They vacillate between a sweet dream and a nightmare, and there is no telling when one turns into the other (Telling Quotes)
Telling someone with depression to pull themselves together is about as useful as telling someone with cancer to just stop having cancer (Telling Quotes)
I’m sick of women telling other women what men want them to look like (Telling Quotes)
The thing that grounds you, and the thing that really gives you a sense of wholeness, is your family, friends and your community. Those are the things that can mirror back to you what you’re experiencing, and can affirm to you that the stories you are telling are true (Telling Quotes)
I can’t throw books away. My wife is always telling me to get rid of some (Telling Quotes)
