“A story has its purpose and its path. It must be told correctly for it to be understood.”
― Marcus Sedgwick

“Ture stories can't be told forward, only backward. We invent them from the vantage point of an ever-changing present and tell ourselves how they unfolded.”
― Siri Hustvedt, The Shaking Woman, or A History of My Nerves

“It is the nature of stories to leave out far more than they include.”
― Marion Dane Bauer, The Very Little Princess

“When telling the story of your life, it is of great value to recognize and focus on the details that reveal or inspire an empowered unfolding of your being. Much like rewriting your own DNA, every aspect of your life and growth will emanate from the building blocks of your history—however you choose to tell it. This is not to suggest that you should deny or bury your mistakes, traumas or misfortunes, but rather, recognize and reveal them within an empowered context of a bigger picture.”
― Scott Edmund Miller
