“Who has time to make up stories when the truth is so much more interesting?”

“Fiction just makes it all more interesting. Truth is so boring.”

“Make up to a good one and marry here, and your life will become much more interesting.”

“Even the greatest stories can be summed up in a few paragraphs. What makes them so much longer, is all the time spent editing.”

“Every life is a story. Every story has mistakes. If you focus too much on the mistakes, you will miss the story. In doing that, you are making a dreadful mistake yourself. Sometimes, it is the mistakes that enrich and give the story so much more meaning than it would have had otherwise.”

“When it comes to naming things, vanity and flattery are dull motivations best suited for deciding on a child’s middle name. Much more interesting are the descriptive names that suggest a story or happening of interest.”
