“The story of the Kelly system is a story of secrets - or if you prefer, a story of entropy.”

“Stories don't care who takes part in them. All that matters if that the story gets told, that the story repeats. Or, if you prefer to think of it like this: stories are a parasitical life form, warping lives in the service only of the story itself.”

“I'll give you the whole secret to short story writing. Here it is. Rule 1: Write stories that please yourself. There is no Rule 2.”

“There's the story, then there's the real story, then there's the story of how the story came to be told. Then there's what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too.”

“Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.”

“People prefer to listen to Stories…
rather than to Facts.”

“A man who tells secrets or stories must think of who is hearing or reading, for a story has as many versions as it has readers.”

“When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.”

“Trust me, I'm telling you stories…. I can change the story. I am the story.”

“Tell me a story.
In this century, and moment, of mania,
Tell me a story.
Make it a story of great distances, and starlight.
The name of the story will be Time,
But you must not pronounce its name.
Tell me a story of deep delight.”
