Storyteller Quotes

“Your heart is like a great river after a long spell of rain, spilling over its banks. All signposts that once stood on the ground are gone, inundated and carried away by that rush of water. And still the rain beats down on the surface of the river. Every time you see a flood like that on the news you tell yourself: That’s it. That’s my heart.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“A storyteller makes up things to help other people; a liar makes up things to help himself.”
― Daniel Wallace, The Kings and Queens of Roam

“When we want mood experiences, we go to concerts or museums. When we want meaningful emotional experience, we go to the storyteller.”
― Robert McKee, Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting

“For surely a king is first a man. And so it must follow that a king does as all men do: the best he can.”
― Cameron Dokey, The Storyteller's Daughter

“All stories have a curious and even dangerous power. They are manifestations of truth -- yours and mine. And truth is all at once the most wonderful yet terrifying thing in the world, which makes it nearly impossible to handle. It is such a great responsibility that it's best not to tell a story at all unless you know you can do it right. You must be very careful, or without knowing it you can change the world.”
― Vera Nazarian, Dreams Of The Compass Rose

“Obscurity is never a virtue.”
― Roald Dahl

“That's what we storytellers do. We restore order with imagination. We instill hope again and again and again.”
― Kelly Marcel & Sue Smith

“Time changes nothing, girl, but the size of your underwear. . .and hopefully your hairdo.”
― Minton Sparks

“If a storyteller worried about the facts - my dear Lucian, how could he ever get at the truth?”
― Lloyd Alexander, The Arkadians

“Death is the sanction of everything the story-teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death.”
― Walter Benjamin, Illuminations: Essays and Reflections

“Perhaps it's chasing me. But I don't think it will ever catch me because I am moving fast.”
― Roald Dahl

“The difference between real life and a story is that life has significance, while a story must have meaning.

The former is not always apparent, while the latter always has to be, before the end.”
― Vera Nazarian

“I'll tell you a secret.

Old storytellers never die.

They disappear into their own story.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“When people told themselves their past with stories, explained their present with stories, foretold the future with stories, the best place by the fire was kept for the storyteller.”
― Jim Henson Productions

“The skeleton key unlocks the mind and swings open the door of imagination. A far better place than here A much safer place than there The quintessential somewhere The mystical nowhere The enigmatic anywhere My gift to you - the key to everywhere.
The mortal will find itself lost while the soul always knows the way it is grateful for the darkness and celebrates the day

I can give you peace my peace I give you... but I cannot be your savior or your god - I cannot be the light along your path - I can only give you the lamp and point the way.

The blind will see... the deaf will hear... but those who choose reason will never understand.

Woe to the ones who think they know the answers they will cease to ask the questions that may be their own salvation.

We possess the knowledge of the Universe from conception. Once born we are taught to forget.

If we cannot look out at our world and see our children's vision then we are truly blind we are unable to lead them to paradise.

"Even people who are in the dark search for their shadows. Shadows exist only if there is light. We will never find total darkness - not even in death... ...and we always cast a shadow no matter how overcast our skies become. You are never alone."

Do not listen to the voice that shouts to you from behind desks behind podiums behind altars. Do not pay attention to the orators and the opportunists. Do not be distracted by the promises made behind masks. Listen to the quiet. Listen to the whispers as they gently guide you through the assaults of man's absurdities. Listen to the gentle breathing of your mother and lay your head to rest in her peace and in her warm embrace and understand that truth and power lie within you. Breathe silence.

The free bird will always return to the cage sooner or later to seek food and water and the loving hand of it's caretaker.”
― M. Teresa Clayton

“The Gingerbread House has four walls, a roof, a door, a window, and a chimney. It is decorated with many sweet culinary delights on the outside.

But on the inside there is nothing—only the bare gingerbread walls.

It is not a real house—not until you decide to add a Gingerbread Room.

That’s when the stories can move in.

They will stay in residence for as long as you abstain from taking the first gingerbread bite.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

“I tell the story to you now, but in each telling the story itself changes a little, changes direction, and that in turn changes you and me. So be very careful not only in how you repeat it but in how you remember it, goslings. More often than you realize it, the world is shaped by two things -- stories told and the memories they leave behind.”
― Vera Nazarian, Dreams Of The Compass Rose

“Follow your gut, Storyteller, it will lead to your happy ending.”
― Isabel Greenberg, The Encyclopedia of Early Earth

“If I were a zombie
I'd never eat your brain
I'd just want your heart”
― Stephanie Mabey

“I doubt I was much of a storyteller, but I would have put that smile in my book. On page 104, right next to the image of the Ward. I would have written it on my heart. I would have proofread it a thousand times under a thousand moons until a thousand tears thoroughly rationalized what it meant to me. Each time for when I’d met the darkness, and then succumbed. The smile read “you can’t break me’”—bold and in italics.”
― Nadège Richards, Asylum 54.0

“Only a writer would slap a bumper sticker on her car that read, 'Seriously, I'd rather be working'.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich

“Charles has a genius for images, that's what it is--- symbols that glow in the mind, rich and radiant with meaning. And the whole thing rolls along so smoothly and pleasurably--- Marie finds herself closing her eyes for a few seconds, and lets his voice take her to a far-off kingdom, and feels, for just that moment, as if she doesn't have to be responsible for everything that happens. As if she can trust in his voice.”
― Clare Pollard, The Modern Fairies

“Come away from the freezing walls. Gather harthward, hold close those your love, fill your cup. I have an oft told tale from the far west that can spin you away from this warsome winter and the howl-hungry things at our doors. Attend me now, while my bones can still bear it.”
― R.E. Bellesmith, The Wilderlands

“But this was not an ending; it was a new beginning and I was determined to make it the best one I could.”
― R. Dugan

“Some bleed ink. I set the pages on fire.”
― Hades Jay

“A powerful approach is what I call the Golden Triangle of Storytelling—a mental space where curiosity, empathy, and imagination intersect.”
― Will Raywood, Trust Your Story: Master Storytelling and Build a Successful Creative Writing Career

― Ujjwal Ganesh, The Art of De-Illusion: How to Stop Your Mind from Lying to You and See the World as It Is

“But I want to hear them all,' Hari added quickly. 'I'm sure the various versions out there contain the truth of the story, one way or-'

'You see, there is your mistake,' said Joseph. 'That is the thing about stories. The truth is in all of them. [...] If you're going to be a storyteller, my friend, you should know this. The truth is in all of them.”
― Dan Abnett, Saturnine
