Narrative Quotations
A narrative is like a room on whose walls a number of false doors have been painted; while within the narrative, we have many apparent choices of exit, but when the author leads us to one particular door, we know it is the right one because it opens.
John Updike
People need a sacred narrative. They must have a sense of larger purpose, in one form or another, however intellectualized. They will find a way to keep ancestral spirits alive.
E. O. Wilson
To have frequent recourse to narrative betrays great want of imagination.
Lord Chesterfield
I love the freedom that the narrative form provides.
Sidney Sheldon
There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there's only narrative.
E. L. Doctorow
Narrative is linear, but action has breadth and depth as well as height and is solid.
Thomas Carlyle
The pattern of the narrative never of necessity wants to end, it never has to.
Robert Creeley
I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
Bruce Springsteen
An epic is not made by piecing together a set of heroic lays, adjusting their discrepancies and making them into a continuous narrative.
Lascelles Abercrombie
We construct a narrative for ourselves, and that's the thread that we follow from one day to the next. People who disintegrate as personalities are the ones who lose that thread.
Paul Auster
