“There are stories you don't want to tell, and there are stories that scald your brainpan right down to the tongue at the mere thought of uttering. But you can't NOT. Even if you wait until your skull is nothing but a charred and smoking husk, the truth will still be in there, squirming.”
“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...”
“Don't worry about meaning. If a story's any good, it can't help but have meaning. Let the PhDs tell you what your story means.”
“If you don't tell your stories, who will?”
“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?”
“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.”
