Quotes:

I don't really know what is shocking. When you tell the story of a man who is beheaded, you have to show how they cut off his head. If you don't, it's like telling a dirty joke and leaving out the punch line.

View quotes by Roman Polanski

I have been asked whether it is strange when a big story and big business for you is tragedy or ill fortune for someone else; but the fact is that is how many things in life work sadly.
View quotes by Mary Hart

Life begins at 40 - but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.
View quotes by Helen Rowland

I always have been proud of being a Swiss, but I don't know very much about His [Switzerlands's] glory story, as my parents left to France in the year 1886 when I was seven an half years old.
View quotes by Louis Chevrolet

A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.
View quotes by Desi Arnaz

In Hollywood if you're good looking, tall, have OK teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you're short and fat, it's a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
View quotes by John Corbett

Grief that is dazed and speechless is out of fashion: the modern woman mourns her husband loudly and tells you the whole story of his death, which distresses her so much that she forgets not the slightest detail about it.
View quotes by Jean De La Bruyere

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.
View quotes by C S Lewis

The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.
View quotes by Virginia Woolf

We're used to comeback stories in the world of sports, but the Gail Devers story is remarkable. This is a comeback from an illness which almost killed her.
View quotes by Bob Costas

My great-grandmother Morrison fixed a book rest to her spinning wheel so that she could read while she was spinning, or so the story goes.
View quotes by Mary Lawson

I don't know about making a passionate love story, even if it's appealing for an audience to see a husband and wife make love on the screen.
View quotes by Sandra Dee

Good stories flow like honey. Bad stories stick in the craw. A bad story? One that cannot be absorbed on the first time of reading.
View quotes by Arthur Christiansen

The one thing that's closest to my story is the thing about trying out for the juvenile delinquency role and getting it.
View quotes by Paul Mazursky

Return to the fundamentals of politics - sell our story door to door.
View quotes by Richard J Daley

The biggest story of 1982 was the Falklands war. The second biggest also involved my mother and me.
View quotes by Mark Thatcher

A short story or a novelette that appears first in a magazine is inescapably doomed to be hoarded with others of its kind until there are enough of them to be brought out in a collected volume, which in turn we propose to keep reprinting at intervals so long as anyone will buy it.
View quotes by Leslie Charteris

Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science, and should be treated in the same cold unemotional manner. You have attempted to tinge it with romanticism, which produces the same effect as if you worked a love-story into the fifth proposition of Euclid.
View quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle

If I speak of myself in this story, it is because I have been deeply involved in its startling events, events doubtless among the most extraordinary which this 20th century will witness.
View quotes by Jules Verne

Ah, the pleasure, the joy - a big news story that runs and runs, that is played down by some of our journalistic colleagues, saying 'it'll never happen', only to be confirmed by the Home Secretary.
