Our Stories Quotes

“Write a story
A story about yourself

A story about your life
Now, believe it

Now write another story, same subject
A better story
More interesting
Stronger characters.
Now, believe that.

Just keep writing
You have plenty of time”
― Eleanor Davis, How to Be Happy

“I've kept . . .treasures because fragments of . . .stories are contained in them, and I have honored that.

I think of my family. Objects passed from hand to hand. Stories told, others not talked about. Dear friends and acquaintances recount stories of their own. In public places, behind walls and doors, voices rise. Stories float up and are deposited into the trunk of our collective unconscious. We have only to coax a lock to set the stories free.”
― Sandra Benítez, Bag Lady: A Memoir
