Quotes about story and story-tell

  • Death is the sanction of everything the story-teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death. (Bergin Michael)
  • The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out. (Bergin Michael)

  • Man is eminently a storyteller. His search for a purpose, a cause, an ideal, a mission and the like is largely a search for a plot and a pattern in the development of his life story -- a story that is basically without meaning or pattern. (Bergin Michael)
  • The book which the reader now holds in his hands, from one end to the other, as a whole and in its details, whatever gaps, exceptions, or weaknesses it may contain, treats of the advance from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsity to truth, from darkness to daylight, from blind appetite to conscience, from decay to life, from bestiality to duty, from Hell to Heaven, from limbo to God. Matter itself is the starting-point, and the point of arrival is the soul. Hydra at the beginning, an angel at the end. (Bergin Michael)
  • We ought to esteem it of the greatest importance that the fictions which children first hear should be adapted in the most perfect manner to the promotion of virtue. (Bergin Michael)

  • Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story. (Bergin Michael)
  • It's a story about victory that will touch the lives of everyone who watches it. It's powerful. (Bergin Michael)
  • I loved the story, the comedy and how emotional it becomes. It was also an opportunity to do something different to what I had done before. (Bergin Michael)
  • The story ends up being a journey of self-discovery. (Bergin Michael)
  • I loved the story of these three characters [Wood's American Jonathan, his Ukrainian interpreter Alex and Alex's grandfather, their driver] on a road trip and the comedy that comes up because of lack of communication. (Bergin Michael)
  • Now that I'm older, wiser and more comfortable, someone presented me a platform to tell a story. I didn't bitch, whine... just told my side of the story. (Bergin Michael)
  • He brought imagination to the story of the Creation. (Bergin Michael)
  • It's a very, very fascinating story for me, cause it's about a man who's been doing bad; bad things. And he's a father of four children in parochial school, he's a lieutenant of detectives, but he's in conflict with himself and with trying to do what's right. (Bergin Michael)
  • It transcends a label. It's a story of two human beings that are in love; get over the fact that it's two men — that's the point. (Bergin Michael)
  • It's not a disease. It's not contagious. They should understand that it's a story of pure love. They don't have to be a hero. They don't have to be brave like us. I guess a little bit of maturity is being asked for because society has been immature in the past. That's about it. (Bergin Michael)
  • Aren't we at the stage these days when it just doesn't ... matter? It's a story of love and it's a story between two people. If people can't get over that and just accept it as a story, then that's their problem. I'm big enough and brave enough to do it. (Bergin Michael)
  • It was pretty clear that this story hadn't been put to screen. It's not very often that you come across a story that hasn't been made. (Bergin Michael)

  • It took a delicate man to tell this story, and that's you. (Bergin Michael)
