This is one I like

The objective of storytelling, the point of it all, isn’t to write about something.
The idea isn’t even to write about something.
The highest goal of your storytelling is to write about something happening.
When you can execute the last one and still make your story about something… then and only then will you have elevated your story to the level of art.

"Eventually" might be a better word.
The obvious.
