The world isn't made of atoms, it's made of stories.
Language is so inherent to humanity, so necessary for even basic thinking, that stories and poetry are available to anyone who can process language.
The stories of wine lords who trade wine on intimidation or food critics who trade free meals for reviews those are the stories of my life. I am telling the stories of my life in a true way.
Did you see The Never-Ending Story? That's one kick-ass dragon. It's basically a giant puppy dragon.
I'm used to writing short stories, which is primarily what I like to read.
he beauty of this world [of comics] is there are so many stories to tell, and there's so many wonderful characters. Wonderful characters we haven't even begun to introduce - it's a world that is infinitely expandable.
The world is dark, and light is precious. Come closer, dear reader. You must trust me. I am telling you a story.

The only way for us to help ourselves is to help others and to listen to each other's stories.
She was witchy, yes, and in charge of a cauldron roiling with ideas and stories, but she always gave the impression that the stories, the ones she wrote and wrote so very well and so wisely, had simply happened, and that all she had done was to hold the pen. (On Diana Wynne Jones)
Your excuses will never be as good as the story of how you got it done.
When I decided to make my version of Poe's stories, I wanted to respect the original material or to at least get closer to what his stories are really about. Most other adaptations I've seen sort of follow the story but they never satisfy me as an audience member or as a reader.
