“In those days I learned that nothing is more frightening than a hero who lives to tell his story, to tell what all those who fell at his side will never be able to tell.”

“The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them.”

“I love those people who do story-telling and who ramble on, but I don't do that, I tell jokes - the sort of jokes that anyone really could tell in the pub.”

“Great stories happen to those who can tell them”

“People tell stories and it's up to those who listen whether to believe or not."

"Shouldn't the storyteller believe it."

"The storyteller should tell it.”

“Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.”

“Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are those in which the ending is a surprise.”

“Nobody can tell what I suffer! But it is always so. Those who do not complain are never pitied.”

“I wished to tell the truth, for truth always conveys its own moral to those who are able to receive it.”

“We should make it a rule never to have half confidences. They always embarrass those who give them, and dissatisfy those who receive them. They shed an uncertain light on what we want hidden, increase curiosity, entitling the recipients to know more, giving them leave to consider themselves free to talk of what they have guessed. It is far safer and more honest to tell nothing than to be silent when we have begun to tell.”
