Famous quotes containing the word story:

    This story is no good, I’m almost beginning to believe it.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

    ... there is ... a big aspect of play in writing novels, and making the story more and more elaborate is just more and more fun.
    Gish Jen (b. 1956)

    If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, “I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.” I mean people are going to say, “You’re crazy.” Plus they’re going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that’s a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.
    Diane Arbus (1923–1971)
