Storms make the oak grow deeper roots.
‐‐ George Herbert
Storms make trees take deeper roots.
‐‐ Dolly Parton
Storms of every sort, torrents, earthquakes, cataclysms, 'convulsions of nature,' etc., however mysterious and lawless at first sight they may seem, are only harmonious notes in the song of creation, varied expressions of God's love.
‐‐ John Muir
Stormy in love, stormy in interviews, breakfast in bed - that's me, love.
‐‐ Graham Chapman
Story and plot, not historical facts, are the engine of a novel, but I was committed to working through the grain of actual history and coming to something, an overall effect, which approximated truth.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
Story may not be a great addition to some games - games where action is the whole reason for the game to exist.
‐‐ Jane Jensen
Storybooks were always a big part of my imagination, and my childhood and adolescence.
‐‐ Jesse Williams
Storylines are how characters create the plots involved in their stories.
‐‐ Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
Storytelling and elegant style don't always go hand in hand.
‐‐ Donna Tartt
Storytelling enables us to play out decisions before we make them, to plan routes before we take them, to work out the campaign before we start the war, to rehearse the phrases we're going to use to please or placate our wives and husbands.
‐‐ Jim Crace
Storytelling has a narcotic power.
‐‐ Robert Harris
Storytelling helps us understand each other, translate the issues of our times, and the tools of theater and film can be powerful in helping young people to develop communication/collaboration skills, let alone improving their own confidence.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Storytelling, in print or speech, needs vital energy.
‐‐ Frank Delaney
Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage. If you can tell young people how you kill an emu, acted out in song or dance, or that Uncle George was eaten by a croc over there, don't go there to swim, then those young people don't have to find out by trial and error.
‐‐ Margaret Atwood
Storytelling is about listening in any media.
‐‐ Chris Vance
Storytelling is about patience, about making sense of the moments of pathos and beauty that you find, and about carrying these moments back into your own life.
‐‐ Michael Paterniti
Storytelling is about two things; it's about character and plot.
‐‐ George Lucas
Storytelling is an ancient and honorable act. An essential role to play in the community or tribe. It's one that I embrace wholeheartedly and have been fortunate enough to be rewarded for.
‐‐ Russell Banks
Storytelling is as old as speech. It existed before humans first began to carve shapes in stones and press their hands upon the rocky walls of caves.
‐‐ Kate Forsyth
Storytelling is based on the word, being an honorable person of integrity is based on your word.
‐‐ Jesse Williams
Storytelling is fine as long as you can encourage people to act on the stories.
‐‐ Karen Armstrong
Storytelling is important. Part of human continuity.
‐‐ Robert Redford
Storytelling is my currency. It's my only worth. The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out.
‐‐ Kevin Smith
Storytelling is my passion, and it rises from a love of reading.
‐‐ Kelley Armstrong
Storytelling is not what I do for a living - it is how I do all that I do while I am living.
‐‐ Donald Davis
Storytelling is storytelling. Good stories need compelling characters and interesting conflicts. That's the bottom line no matter what medium you're writing for.
‐‐ D. J. MacHale
Storytelling is storytelling. You still play by the same narrative rules. The technology is completely different. I don't use one piece of technology that I used when I started directing.
‐‐ James Cameron
Storytelling is the essential human activity. The harder the situation, the more essential it is.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
Storytelling is the game. It's what we all do. It's why Nike is Nike, it's why Apple is Apple, it's why Walt Disney built Disney World and it's why Vince McMahon makes a billion dollars.
‐‐ Gary Vaynerchuk
Storytelling is the important thing.
‐‐ Vincent Kartheiser
Storytelling is the most powerful way to put ideas into the world today.
‐‐ Robert McAfee Brown
Storytelling is the only studio movie where the censorship is perfectly clear, the only studio movie with a big red box covering up a shot. I take pride in that - and, of course, in having avoided the fate of Eyes Wide Shut.
‐‐ Todd Solondz
Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
Storytelling is what lights my fire.
‐‐ Hope Davis
Storytelling isn't an Escher staircase.
‐‐ Dave Morris
Storytelling, mythology and film provide a lot of hope but, on the flip side, can also create delusion.
‐‐ Aml Ameen
Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.
‐‐ Hannah Arendt
Stradivarius, in particular, was the most amazing craftsman and one of the great artists and scientists that ever lived because he figured out something with the sound and the science of acoustics that we still don't understand it completely.
‐‐ Joshua Bell
Straight-away the ideas flow in upon me, directly from God, and not only do I see distinct themes in my mind's eye, but they are clothed in the right forms, harmonies, and orchestration.
‐‐ Johannes Brahms
Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.
‐‐ Dan Savage
Straight girls like me. They flirt with me to get whatever they want. Of course it works.
‐‐ Lea DeLaria
Straight men just can't imagine the bliss of being in a relationship with someone who finds farting as funny as they do.
‐‐ Graham Norton
'Straight Outta Compton' is my first biopic, my first period piece, and I got a chance to kind of get out there like some of my idols, you know, like Scorsese, Spielberg, Spike Lee, the guys who came before me. You know, I'm feeling good about it.
‐‐ F. Gary Gray
'Straight Outta Compton' is not a story we didn't know about or anything like that, but it's just something that resonated really well... It had no choice but to explode.
‐‐ Jason Mitchell
Straight people are everywhere!
‐‐ Dan Savage
Straight people say, 'You know you're just gay,' and gay people say, 'You know you're just gay.' There is such a thing as bisexual!
‐‐ Andy Dick
Straight sized boards are models size 0-6. Plus size boards are models starting at a 10. If a size 8 girl was 5' 11 and curvy, she'd be on the plus sized board, because there's nothing in between.
‐‐ Hayley Hasselhoff
Strange about parents. We have such easy access to them and such daunting problems of communication.
‐‐ James Merrill
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
