You can tell your story any way you damn well please ~ Jandy Nelson
Tell Your Story quotes by Jandy Nelson
I think the main thing over time is that you gain confidence and are able to tell your story better and stronger. ~ Roksanda Ilincic
Tell Your Story quotes by Roksanda Ilincic
Be true to yourself and to the culture you were born into. Tell your story as only you can. ~ William Zinsser
Tell Your Story quotes by William Zinsser
Tell your story.
That's the secret of immortality. The one true way to live forever. ~ Brad Meltzer
Tell Your Story quotes by Brad Meltzer
When you understand the perfection in "your story" you can stop telling it!...until then you will tell your story to anyone that will listen... ~ Lenita Vangellis
Tell Your Story quotes by Lenita Vangellis
How well you tell your story determines how well your customers tell your story. ~ Simon Mainwaring
Tell Your Story quotes by Simon Mainwaring
Every story you've read, play you've seen, every movie and every television show, every poem you've heard and every song...

All came to live because someone had a story in their mind and had enough courage to put it on paper and share it with the world.

Be brave. Tell your story.

-DS. ~ D.S. Kenn
Tell Your Story quotes by D.S. Kenn
Tell your story even if you have a small audience. ~ Mitta Xinindlu
Tell Your Story quotes by Mitta Xinindlu
Toni Morrison said, "The function of freedom is to free someone else," and if you are no longer wracked or in bondage to a person or a way of life, tell your story. Risk freeing someone else. Not everyone will be glad that you did. Members of your family and other critics may wish you had kept your secrets. Oh, well, what are you going to do? ~ Anne Lamott
Tell Your Story quotes by Anne Lamott
Churches should be places where people come to hear the story of God and to tell their own. That's how we find out how the two relate. Tell your story with all of its shadows and fog, so people can understand their own. They want a leader who's authentic, someone trying to figure out how to follow the Lord Jesus in the joy and wreckage of life. They need you, not Moses, ~ Angie Smith
Tell Your Story quotes by Angie Smith
You can't just come out and say what you have to say. That's what people do on airplanes, when a man plops down next to you in the aisle seat of your flight to New York, spills peanuts all over the place (back when the cheapskate airlines at least gave you peanuts), and tells you about what his boss did to him the day before. You know how your eyes glaze over when you hear a story like that? That's because of the way he's telling his story. You need a good way to tell your story. ~ Adair Lara
Tell Your Story quotes by Adair Lara
Don't sell your story, just tell your story. ~ J.J. Abrams
Tell Your Story quotes by J.J. Abrams
A marriage, willy-nilly, requires you to trust that your spouse will tell your story truthfully and lovingly when you are no longer around to tell it yourself. ~ Kate Braestrup
Tell Your Story quotes by Kate Braestrup
Tell your story with your whole heart. ~ Brene Brown
Tell Your Story quotes by Brene Brown
Be open to suggestions, but don't let anyone dictate how you should tell your story. Who can possibly tell your story better than you? ~ Giuseppe Bianco
Tell Your Story quotes by Giuseppe Bianco
Tell your story because your story will heal you and it will heal someone else. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Tell Your Story quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
Oh my God, I love UCLA so much. Their film school is great because it's unstructured, so there's a freedom to fail in there and just tell your story, and everybody makes a film. It's so important to have that freedom in film school because that's what you're there for: to learn and make a film. ~ Gina Prince-Bythewood
Tell Your Story quotes by Gina Prince-Bythewood
No matter who you are or what kind of company or organization you work for, your number-one job is to tell your story to the consumer wherever they are, and preferably at the moment they are deciding to make a purchase. ~ Gary Vaynerchuk
Tell Your Story quotes by Gary Vaynerchuk
Remember, there is no expiration date on your talent. I did not publish my first book until I was 35 years old. If you have a story to tell, it doesn't matter when you tell it. Just get it onto the page and let go of the idea that somehow it's less worthwhile because it took you a little longer to get there than it took others. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Tell Your Story quotes by Leigh Bardugo
As a screenwriter, there's so many layers you have to go through in order to tell your story. You have to write the script, get money for the script, shoot it, find distributors, make it into film festivals, all of that just to get to your audience. ~ Morley
Tell Your Story quotes by Morley
What you select from, in order to tell your story, is nothing less than everything. What you build up your world from, your local, intelligible rational, coherent world, is nothing less than everything ... All human knowledge is local. Every life, each human life is local, is arbitrary, the infinitesimal momentary glitter of a reflection. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Tell Your Story quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
If you start thinking about being likable you are not going to tell your story honestly. ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Tell Your Story quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Never oversimplify yourself by using a single word or category to describe who you are. Take the time to tell your story. ~ Derek Webb
Tell Your Story quotes by Derek Webb
I am realizing that intention has a lot to do with how things turn out, and accomplishments don't always have to involve such a difficult personal fight or campaign. So, too, how you tell your story has a great deal to do with how you feel about the circumstances in your life and which direction your story is going to go in. ~ Laura Fraser
Tell Your Story quotes by Laura Fraser
Only you can tell your story. ~ Victoria A. Hudson
Tell Your Story quotes by Victoria A. Hudson
Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story. ~ Danielle LaPorte
Tell Your Story quotes by Danielle LaPorte
We write to share the deepest heart-talk of our souls. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Tell Your Story quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Even if the abuse happened years ago, writing about it and telling someone about it can make all the difference to how you feel inside. I can assure you that telling will help you feel better. It is never to late to tell your story and begin to heal your wounds. Find the right person to trust and tell. ~ Patti Feuereisen
Tell Your Story quotes by Patti Feuereisen
Find advocates! Having advocates and people who will tell your story for you will only help you get noticed faster by more people. ~ Brit Morin
Tell Your Story quotes by Brit Morin
When the remedy you have offered only increases the disease, then leave him who will not be cured, and tell your story to someone who seeks the truth. ~ Rumi
Tell Your Story quotes by Rumi
Don't let anyone tell your story. Pick up a pen and write your own. ~ Majid Kazmi
Tell Your Story quotes by Majid Kazmi
Grow with discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Innovate around the core. Don't embrace the status quo. Find new ways to see. Never expect a silver bullet. Get your hands dirty. Listen with empathy and overcommunicate with transparency. Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation. Hold people accountable, but give them the tools to succeed. Make the tough choices; it's how you execute that counts. Be decisive in times of crisis. Be nimble. Find truth in trials and lessons in mistakes. Be responsible for what you see, hear, and do. Believe. ~ Howard Schultz
Tell Your Story quotes by Howard Schultz
One day you will tell your story of how you've overcome what you are going through now, and it will become part of someone else's survival guide. ~ Ehraz Ahmed
Tell Your Story quotes by Ehraz Ahmed
Over time, the stories became precious inheritances that we assimilated into our lives. However, the value of stories is not in hoarding them but in telling them. You take what you need to learn, to grow, to heal, and then pass them on to others who also want to know themselves and the truth. Our stories make us all wealthy benefactors, enriching any who care to listen. There is no thinking one is too rich and famous, or average and mundane, or poor and inconsequential to tell his or her story, and I believe it is something we must all do. It can
be to millions, a roomful, a handful, or just one, but there is someone who needs help somewhere, and you are the only one who can make the difference. Tell your story. ~ Marta Maranda
Tell Your Story quotes by Marta Maranda
At the end of all things, there was no song;
So the legends lived on, until all that remained
were the stories she must tell. ~ Emory R. Frie
Tell Your Story quotes by Emory R. Frie
I really believe that we all have the ability to come out of our story. But you have to tell your story first in order to come out of it. ~ Mariel Hemingway
Tell Your Story quotes by Mariel Hemingway
You don't need to be a poet, a performer, a writer, or a journalist to tell your story powerfully. You do, however, need to elevate your language in ways that will bring your story to life clearly and imaginatively for others. ~ John Capecci And Timothy Cage
Tell Your Story quotes by John Capecci And Timothy Cage
Maltoni concludes her thoughts on the success of TOMS with an insightful nod to the power of this principle: "People remember. And when a message is a mission, they will tell your story to anyone who will hear it - even a stranger at an airport. And by doing that, they become your strongest advocates in marketing your product ... The lesson: influence is given."5 ~ Dale Carnegie
Tell Your Story quotes by Dale Carnegie
As soon as I saw tattoos as a way to tell your story, I thought, 'Oh my gosh, I totally get it.' So I got my first tattoo a couple of years ago, and it's the word 'hope' on my left arm. It has a couple of dots at the end for each of my kids. ~ Kristian Bush
Tell Your Story quotes by Kristian Bush
Social media is a really cool way to tell your story to people who are interested in hearing it. It's not getting put through the filter of a television executive who's decided you're too old to justify the expenditure. ~ Greg Behrendt
Tell Your Story quotes by Greg Behrendt
Just tell your story. Pretty much all memory is fiction and heavily edited. So just keep going. ~ Iain Reid
Tell Your Story quotes by Iain Reid
I think theatre to some extent is always about telling stories, isn't it, and I think what I've learned is that freedom comes when you tell your story; freedom comes when you tell the truth. ~ Eve Ensler
Tell Your Story quotes by Eve Ensler
If you can't tell your story to another human, find another way: journal, paint, make your grief into a graphic novel with a very dark storyline. Or go out to the woods and tell the trees. It is an immense relief to be able to tell your story without someone trying to fix it. The trees will not ask, "How are you really?" and the wind doesn't care if you cry. ~ Megan Devine
Tell Your Story quotes by Megan Devine
It's important to tell your story. It's important to listen. ~ Francesca Lia Block
Tell Your Story quotes by Francesca Lia Block
I've always believed that clothing is a great way to tell your story. ~ Carson Kressley
Tell Your Story quotes by Carson Kressley
I heard John Wells say something really smart, many years ago. He said, "Assume your audience is really intelligent. Assume that they are really smart, and tell your story that way." So, for me, it's about never assuming that they will go away because they're not entertained. ~ Veena Sud
Tell Your Story quotes by Veena Sud
I love the grandiosity of Hollywood movies, and even in independents, I love the canvas you can tell your story on. I love fiction filmmaking, you really feel like you're creating something. ~ George Hickenlooper
Tell Your Story quotes by George Hickenlooper
Tell your story.
Shout it. Write it.
Whisper it if you have to.
But tell it.
Some won't understand it.
Some will outright reject it.
But many will
thank you for it.
And then the most
magical thing will happen.
One by one, voices will start
whispering, 'Me, too.'
And your tribe will gather.
And you will never
feel alone again. ~ L.R. Knost
Tell Your Story quotes by L.R. Knost
One of the ways to reincarnate is to tell your story. ~ Spalding Gray
Tell Your Story quotes by Spalding Gray
How crucial for us to rehearse the future, in words.
Never to doubt that you will live to utter them.
Never to doubt that you will tell your story. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Tell Your Story quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
The best time to tell your story is when you have to tell your story. When it's not really a choice. But then, when you get that first, messy, complicated version down, you have to read it over and be very tough on yourself and ask, 'Well what's the story here?' If you're lucky enough to have someone you trust looking over your shoulder, he or she can help you if [you] lack perspective on your own story. ~ Jeannette Walls
Tell Your Story quotes by Jeannette Walls
I feel like there's no real innovation in having some music. It's more just unique personalities and unique expressions, and you being able to tell your story. ~ Maynard James Keenan
Tell Your Story quotes by Maynard James Keenan
Tell your story. Don't try and tell the stories that other people can tell. Any starting writer starts out with other people's voices. But as quickly as you can start telling the stories that only you can tell, because there will always be better writers than you and there will always be smarter writers than you, but you are the only you. ~ Neil Gaiman
Tell Your Story quotes by Neil Gaiman
The ghoul cracked a smile like a coffin's lid sliding ajar. "I'm glad you found me, too," he said. "It will be my honour to tell your story. It has been vastly entertaining thus far. I do hope it has a happy ending, though."
"It won't," Matrick murmured.
"It will," Gabe assured them.
"It might," Clay said. ~ Nicholas Eames
Tell Your Story quotes by Nicholas Eames
Writing

There is one thing you should know about writing. It will inevitably lead you to dark places as you cannot write authentically about something unless you have lived it. However, you should always bear in mind that you are only a tourist and must always remain one. You were blessed with the gift of words, in order to bring a voice to suffering. But do not be too indulgent despite how addictive sadness can be, how easy it is to get lost down the path of self-destruction. You must emerge from adversity, scathed but victorious to tell your story, and, in turn, light the way for others. ~ Lang Leav
Tell Your Story quotes by Lang Leav
I don't want to tell your story because you're a insensitive, self-centered moron. I've told a lot of stories about young people, and I always feel there's hope. ~ Joel Schumacher
Tell Your Story quotes by Joel Schumacher
Tell your story: yes, tell your story! Give your example. Tell everyone that it's possible, and other people will then have the courage to face their own mountains. ~ Paulo Coelho
Tell Your Story quotes by Paulo Coelho
Something may have happened before, and yet this thing that happened just after may be so important that you don't even know about the thing that happened before and when you tell your story to yourself, or to someone else, it's going to be told not on the basis necessarily of the time course, but rather on the basis of how it was valued by you. ~ Antonio Damasio
Tell Your Story quotes by Antonio Damasio
The biggest threat to your creativity is the fear that it's already been done, said, created. (So why bother?)
Say it, do it, make it anyway - but tell YOUR story along the way.
The story of how you came to know what you know.
The story of what you want to know more of.
The story of why you do what you do.
The story of how you came to care.
And that's how you create what's never been created before. ~ Danielle LaPorte
Tell Your Story quotes by Danielle LaPorte
Don't get hung up on the hard times, the challenges. Tell your story by highlighting the victories. Because it's your victories that will inspire, motivate, encourage other people to live their stories in grander ways. ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Tell Your Story quotes by Iyanla Vanzant
In my opinion, trying to guess what readers want is the wrong approach. You have to tell your story as best you can and as true to yourself as possible. You have to be honest and fair and vulnerable and foolish and brave, and not care what anyone thinks of it. ~ Jeannette Walls
Tell Your Story quotes by Jeannette Walls
I'll go from world to world until I find a time and place where you can come awake in safety. And I'll tell your story to my people, so that perhaps in time the can forgive you, too. The way that you've forgiven me. ~ Orson Scott Card
Tell Your Story quotes by Orson Scott Card
Your audience is your adversary. If you don't have one get one - imagine it. Imagine it now. To whom is your story addressed and why? Audience is always a creative act of the imagination. You can't tell your story effectively and leave it out. It must be alive in you, vividly alive. It is in conflict with everything that is false in what you have written. If it is an audience worthy of your talent and potential, it won't let you slide by the lies, the laziness, the shortcuts. If you don't take audience seriously, you can be sure it will return the favor. ~ Billy Marshall Stoneking
Tell Your Story quotes by Billy Marshall Stoneking
In that moment, I think I finally understood what my mother wrote. That to have courage is to tell your story with your whole heart. She was right. There isn't bravery without a little trembling. ~ Mandy Madson Voisin
Tell Your Story quotes by Mandy Madson Voisin
No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story. ~ Gary Vaynerchuk
Tell Your Story quotes by Gary Vaynerchuk
Everyday in heat, rain or cold, I ran - alone in the woods - in the hills near our home. There I felt the gentle touch of God. I head Him whisper, 'You're stronger now. It's time to tell the truth of what happened. Tell your story to give hope to others. ~ Nikki Rosen
Tell Your Story quotes by Nikki Rosen
I think I've learned that if you want to be successful, you have to tell your story honestly and from your heart - and I think a healthy sense of humor doesn't hurt either. ~ Dorothea Benton Frank
Tell Your Story quotes by Dorothea Benton Frank
Always follow your dreams. Never give up. If you have a thought in your mind write it down. If you have a desire in your heart to write, then write. Tell your story. Make a difference. Touch someone's heart. ~ S. Sloan
Tell Your Story quotes by S. Sloan
I learned first of all not to be intimidated by any visual effects that I don't understand. It can all be learned. You can then use them as tools to tell your story. I also learned that you have to be really vigilant, the more complex the movie, to not lose yourself and to not lose sight of the priority. ~ Shawn Levy
Tell Your Story quotes by Shawn Levy
When I told you I was the last man you'd ever tell your story to, I meant it. I'm not going anywhere. ~ Christy Pastore
Tell Your Story quotes by Christy Pastore
In this one life, this one life that you have to live, you must embrace every moment that creeps into your existence. You must feel every possible emotion to realize you're really alive, you're really living. If you build walls and you hide behind them in fear, you're not embracing moments, you're not actually living. And if you're not living, then you're dead. Maybe not physically, but mentally and emotionally, you are non-existent. Why would you want to waste such precious time, non-existing, especially behind a crumby wall? Fear? Fear of what? Fear of something great? Fear of something amazing? Hurt? Fear of pain? Isn't pain what makes us appreciate feelings of absolute happiness and love? Who doesn't want happiness? Let me be the one to tell you that this life is short, it's damn short. So, let go of your grudges, your past, your stupid walls and feel reality. Avoidance is not life. Pain is life, happiness is life, emotion is life. Live your damn life. Stop being dead. Embrace every good feeling in your heart and soul and act on it without the fear of hurt, because undoubtedly hurt will happen, but hurt will also disappear and lead to the most valuable feelings in this world. Regret is not something you want to live with in this short, short life. So follow that tiny fist sized drum in your chest because it is honest and it is true. Take those fucking chances, take them knowing this world is full of opportunity, opportunity for great things, absolutely amazing fucking thi ~ Anonymous
Tell Your Story quotes by Anonymous
Well then. Let us begin with essentials. Are you free to marry me?" He exhaled slowly, in a pointed effort not to hold his breath.
"Of course. When I come of age, that is."
"Tell me your birthday."
She smiled. "The first of February."
"It will be our wedding day." He traced the shape of the birthmark on her hip. "Very convenient for me, for your birthday and our anniversary to coincide. I'll be more likely to remember both."
"I wish you would stop touching me there."
"Do you? Why?"
"Because it is ugly. I hate it."
He tilted his head, surprised. "I quite adore it. It reminds me that you are imperfectly perfect and entirely mine." He slid down her body and bent to kiss the mark to prove the point. "There's a little thrill in knowing no one else has seen it."
"No other man, you mean." He kissed her there again, this time tracing the shape with his tongue. She squirmed and laughed. "When I was a child, I would scrub at it in the bath. My nursemaid used to tell me, God gives children birthmarks so they won't get lost." Her mouth curled in a bittersweet smile. "Yet here I am, adrift on the ocean on the other side of the world. Don't they call that irony?"
"I believe they call it Providence." He tightened his hands over her waist. "You're here, and I've found you. And I take pains not to lose what's mine."
He kissed her hip again, then slid his mouth toward her center as he settled between her thighs.
"Gray," she protested ~ Tessa Dare
Tell Your Story quotes by Tessa Dare
The source of love, as I learned later, is a curiosity which, combined with the inclination which nature is obliged to give us in order to preserve itself. […] Hence women make no mistake in taking such pains over their person and their clothing, for it is only by these that they can arouse a curiosity to read them in those whom nature at their birth declared worthy of something better than blindness. […] As time goes on a man who has loved many women, all of them beautiful, reaches the point of feeling curious about ugly women if they are new to him. He sees a painted woman. The paint is obvious to him, but it does not put him off. His passion, which has become a vice, is ready with the fraudulent title page. 'It is quite possible,' he tells himself, 'that the book is not as bad as all that; indeed, it may have no need of this absurd artifice.' He decides to scan it, he tries to turn over the pages - but no! the living book objects; it insists on being read properly, and the 'egnomaniac' becomes a victim of coquetry, the monstrous persecutor of all men who ply the trade of love.

You, Sir, who are a man of intelligence and have read these least twenty lines, which Apollo drew from my pen, permit me to tell you that if they fail to disillusion you, you are lost - that is, you will be the victim of the fair sex to the last moment of your life. If that prospect pleases you, I congratulate you ~ Giacomo Casanova
Tell Your Story quotes by Giacomo Casanova
I'm so hungry, comrade! It has been days since we ate those two raccoons!'
'I know comrade. I'm even beginning to wish we had some of your homemade quiche!'
'Oh comrade! Do you mean it?'
'Hey
Hey! None of that! If you ever tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it! ~ Jeff Smith
Tell Your Story quotes by Jeff Smith
I would tell you I hope you find what you seek in life, but your problem is you're not looking. The only looking you do is good looking. But really, you're not that handsome. ~ Jarod Kintz
Tell Your Story quotes by Jarod Kintz
I tell you, because military training is not publicly recognised by the state, you must not make that an excuse for being a whit less careful in attending to it yourself. For you may rest assured that there is no kind of struggle, apart from war, and no undertaking in which you will be worse off by keeping your body in better fettle.

"For in everything that men do the body is useful; and in all uses of the body it is of great importance to be in as high a state of physical efficiency as possible. Why, even in the process of thinking, in which the use of the body seems to be reduced to a minimum, it is matter of common knowledge that grave mistakes may often be traced to bad health.

"And because the body is in a bad condition, loss of memory, depression, discontent, insanity often assail the mind so violently as to drive whatever knowledge it contains clean out of it. But a sound and healthy body is a strong protection to a man, and at least there is no danger then of such a calamity happening to him through physical weakness: on the contrary, it is likely that his sound condition will serve to produce effects the opposite of those that arise from bad condition. And surely a man of sense would submit to anything to obtain the effects that are the opposite of those mentioned in my list.

"Besides, it is a disgrace to grow old through sheer carelessness before seeing what manner of man you may become by developing your bodily strength and beauty t ~ Xenophon Memorabilia. 371BC Marchant Translation
Tell Your Story quotes by Xenophon Memorabilia. 371BC Marchant Translation
What's your name?" I ask him.
We're standing in front of my door.
He stops suprised. Lifts his chin almost imperecmptly. Focuses his eyes on my face until I begin to regret my question.
"You want to know my name."
I don't do it on purpose, but my eyes narrow just a bit.
"Warner is your last name, isn't it?"
He almost smiles. "You want to know my name"
"I didn't realize it was a secret."
He steps forward. His lips twitch. His eyes fall, his lips draw in a tight breath. He drops a gloved finger down the apple of my cheek. "I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours,"
He whispers, too close to my neck.
I inch backward. Swallow hard.
"You already know my name."
He's not looking at my eyes. "You're right. I should rephrase that. What I meant to say was I'll tell you mine if you show me yours."
"What?" I'm breathing too fast too suddenly.
He begins to pull off his gloves and I begin to panic.
"Show me what you can do."
My jaw is tight and my teeth have begun to ache. "I won't touch you"
"That's all right." He tugs off the other glove. "I don't exactly need your help."
"No-"
"Don't worry." He grins. "I'm sure it won't hurt you at all."
"No," I gasp "No, I won't-I can't-"
"Fine," Warner snaps "That's fine. You don't want to hurt me. I'm so utterly flattered." He almost rolls his eyes. ~ Tahereh Mafi
Tell Your Story quotes by Tahereh Mafi
Where do you get your ideas?' people are always asking authors they admire, which I've always thought was another way of asking, 'How did you get my ideas, which I didn't know I had until you put words to them?' We are known, appreciated, even cherished by our favorite writers; every word of our favorite books seems to have been written for us. Within their sentences and paragraphs, those writers are forever available, forever patient, including us in their compassionate recognition of the impossible, exhausting complexity of being human (those "many thousand" selves), never ignoring us or abandoning us or finding us dull. It's you, they whisper, as we turn their pages, you are the one I've been waiting to tell everything to. ~ Suzanne Berne
Tell Your Story quotes by Suzanne Berne
Dream girl," he whispers. "Tell me I have your heart. I won't let it go, not for any moment, not for any reason. Tell me I have your heart and I'll keep it next to my own. ~ Karina Halle
Tell Your Story quotes by Karina Halle
If they bring you down, put you down, keep you down in a can of sardines – my question is the following – why did you let them pack you into a can of sardines – if you are not a sardine – and your boss and other sardines who are sardines don't realize that you are not a sardine? You've been so conditioned to act like a sardine – you think your canned existence is your sole existence – and you can't tell yourself apart from the other sardines that oppress you because you're all stuck together in one big clump […]. If you let them pack you into a sardine can, it's because you are a sardine – just like all the rest – made of salt and oil, scales and tails, slimy and thick. ~ Giannina Braschi
Tell Your Story quotes by Giannina Braschi
MADONNA OF THE EVENING FLOWERS

All day long I have been working
Now I am tired.
I call: "Where are you?"
But there is only the oak tree rustling in the wind.
The house is very quiet,
The sun shines in on your books,
On your scissors and thimble just put down,
But you are not there.
Suddenly I am lonely:
Where are you?
I go about searching.

Then I see you,
Standing under a spire of pale blue larkspur,
With a basket of roses on your arm.
You are cool, like silver,
And you smile.
I think the Canterbury bells are playing little tunes,
You tell me that the peonies need spraying,
That the columbines have overrun all bounds,
That the pyrus japonica should be cut back and rounded.
You tell me these things.
But I look at you, heart of silver,
White heart-flame of polished silver,
Burning beneath the blue steeples of the larkspur,
And I long to kneel instantly at your feet,
While all about us peal the loud, sweet Te Deums of the Canterbury bells ~ Amy Lowell
Tell Your Story quotes by Amy Lowell
The people that tell you what you enjoy is wrong, or come in your life and tell
you what you're wearing is wrong are miserable because they focus on the things
that they don't like. ~ Andy Biersack
Tell Your Story quotes by Andy Biersack
I charge every reader of this message to ask himself frequently what the Bible is to him. Is it a Bible in which you have found nothing more than good moral precepts and sound advice? Or is it a Bible in which you have found Christ? Is it a Bible in which Christ is all? If not, I tell you plainly, you have hitherto used your Bible to very little purpose. You are like a man who studies the solar system, and leaves out in his studies the sun, which is the center of all. It is no wonder if you find your Bible a dull book! ~ J.C. Ryle
Tell Your Story quotes by J.C. Ryle
You must become the producer, director and actor in the unfolding story of your life. ~ Wayne W. Dyer
Tell Your Story quotes by Wayne W. Dyer
I always thought when I hit 50 years old that'd be it for the travel. I don't have to tell you - you wait at an airport, your flight's delayed, get on a 14-hour flight, get off, get stuck in traffic, you get to the hotel and the room service is closed. ~ Brian Setzer
Tell Your Story quotes by Brian Setzer
Your brand is a combination of a customer's experiences with your business at every touchpoint. Each memory, thought, impression, website visit, story, sales letter, social media post, event, phone call, and transaction contribute to
your company's brand reputation. ~ Elaine Fogel
Tell Your Story quotes by Elaine Fogel
when you spend
all your time
imagining yourself
in other people's shoes,

your own story
goes unwritten,

& there is nothing
more painful
than that. ~ Amanda Lovelace
Tell Your Story quotes by Amanda Lovelace
Stop whimpering and snapping at me, I'm sick of it. Keep your mouth shut and do as I tell you, and maybe we'll even be in time for your uncle's bloody wedding. ~ George R R Martin
Tell Your Story quotes by George R R Martin
Now, girls, if you want to observe a young man hustle out after a pick and shovel, just tell him that your heart is in some other fellow's grave. Young men are grave-robbers by nature. ~ O. Henry
Tell Your Story quotes by O. Henry
Make no mistake, Ms. Lane, I didn't rape you. You can lie there on your pretty little
P.C. ass and claim with your idealistic little P.C. arguments that any violation of your will
is rape and that I'm a big, bad bastard, and I'll tell you that you're full of shit, and you've
obviously never been raped. Rape is much, much worse. Rape isn't something you walk
away from. You crawl. ~ Karen Marie Moning
Tell Your Story quotes by Karen Marie Moning
Focus your attention on the Now and tell me what problem you have at this moment. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Tell Your Story quotes by Eckhart Tolle
Margaery, you're clever, be a dear and tell your poor old half-daft grandmother the name of that queer fish from the Summer Isles that puffs up to ten times its own size when you poke it."
"They call them puff fish, Grandmother."
"Of course they do. Summer Islanders have no imagination. ~ George R R Martin
Tell Your Story quotes by George R R Martin
You know that your toddler needed love and approval but he often seemed not to care whether he got it or not and never seemed to know how to earn it. Your pre-school child is positively asking you to tell him what does and does not earn approval, so he is ready to learn any social refinement of being human which you will teach him ... He knows now that he wants your love and he has learned how to ask for it. ~ Penelope Leach
Tell Your Story quotes by Penelope Leach
When I love, I love with everything within me."
Seeing him with his child, this was obvious. Did he mean ... yes, he meant exactly what he said, and it was like he wanted her to know it went much deeper than only with his child. That whatever he loved, he loved with everything inside of him. "I sense that about you, Tristan. Your actions and words are heartfelt. ~ Mary J. McCoy-Dressel
Tell Your Story quotes by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel
Some sample lyrics I think I catch: "My engine races up to seventh gear; wrap your legs around my engine, dear ... The tunnel's dark, but the ground is wet; I lubricate it with my dripping sweat!"
Or, something vaguely disturbing and gross like that; it's hard to tell with the wailing guitars and the front man screaming through his ravaged vocal chords. ~ Rusty Fischer
Tell Your Story quotes by Rusty Fischer
Don't get so busy on your career that you forget to have a life. You CAN do both. You can make lots of money, become a millionaire AND enjoy time with family, friends AND be a great role-model as a parent. - Neil B Wood - The Best Practices of Successful Financial Advisors ~ Neil Wood
Tell Your Story quotes by Neil Wood
Never tell the same lie twice. Lies have to be fresh, constantly changing. You cheat on your spouse, come up with a new excuse every time you're home late. Don't, and you get eaten. ~ Nicholas Lamar Soutter
Tell Your Story quotes by Nicholas Lamar Soutter
Snapchat has a lot less social pressure attached to it compared to every other popular social media network out there. This is what makes it so addicting and liberating. If I don't get any likes on my Instagram photo or Facebook post within 15 minutes you can sure bet I'll delete it. Snapchat isn't like that at all and really focuses on creating the Story of a day in your life, not some filtered/altered/handpicked highlight. It's the real you. ~ Anonymous
Tell Your Story quotes by Anonymous
What, the glass is half-full instead of half-empty? Bullshit. What they don't tell you is that regardless of how full the glass is, it's filled with acid, and you'll burn your face off. ~ T.J. Klune
Tell Your Story quotes by T.J. Klune
Plotting is like sex. Plotting is about desire and satisfaction, anticipation and release. You have to arouse your reader's desire to know what happens, to unravel the mystery, to see good triumph. You have to sustain it, keep it warm, feed it, just a little bit, not too much at a time, as your story goes on. That's called suspense. It can bring desire to a frenzy, in which case you are in a good position to bring off a wonderful climax. ~ Colin Greenland
