Script Quotes

“If God is the author of life, there must be a script.”
― Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods: The Absolute Claims of the Christian Message

“Secure writers don't sell first drafts. They patiently rewrite until the script is as director-ready, as actor-ready as possible. Unfinished work invites tampering, while polished, mature work seals its integrity.”
― Robert McKee, Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting

“The best author is a dead author, because he's out of your way and you own the play. Take what he has given you and use it for what you need.”
― Stella Adler, Stella Adler on Ibsen, Strindberg, and Chekhov

― Graham Greene, The Living Room

― khaled Talib

“What we need, is a break out. Out of our lives, out of Seattle, out of the dumb script of girl.”
― Lidia Yuknavitch, Dora: A Headcase

“It is the ego's purpose that makes everything seem dis-united and like separate events. The constant purpose is the thread that ties all events together. The script is really a continuous thing, rather than discreet events. I did this next and this happened, then I went there. That is the way it is talked about when the mind believes in sequential time and events. But once we get a sense that there is purpose that ties them all together, that is when the fusion between all the events takes place.”
― David Hoffmeister, Unwind Your Mind Back to God: Experiencing A Course in Miracles

“Decisions are the privilege we’ve been granted to have a hand in penning the script of our lives. And in the writing, the question is not the availability of the paper or the pen. The question is the wisdom to use them rightly.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough, An Autumn's Journey: Deep Growth in the Grief and Loss of Life's Seasons

“Maybe stories choose how they are told and who tells them.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“Trying to restructure a perfectly structured script is like trying to fit in a size four jeans when you're a size ten.”
― Colette Freedman

“Considering the fact that the Harappan script may have been proto-Brahmi, the underlying language to be expected should be Sanskrit, or proto-Sanskrit, or derivatives of Sanskrit. Many of the rules of evolution that apply to scripts are equivalently true for languages too. Like scripts, languages too render themselves to similar evolutionary inspections, as they too carry imprints of their journey down the ages.”
― Subhajit Ganguly, Call Of The Lost Ages: A Study Of The Indus Valley Script

“Max never intended to be messy with his writing, which he could read just fine, years later if necessary, even if his teachers couldn’t. He merely found that his active mind tended to move too fast for his hand to keep up with.”
― Sol Luckman, Snooze: A Story of Awakening

“If my 'mind' don't mind, I don't mind.”
― Amit Kalantri

“Sometimes, in the ancient writing samples found in the Indian subcontinent, we find that a mixture of Harappan and Brahmi features has been used. This definitely points towards a continuous evolutionary process that transformed the Harappan script into the later day Brahmi. This also explains why many of the Harappan signs seem to have been simply carried forward (even in actual form) in the Brahmi script.”
― Subhajit Ganguly, Call Of The Lost Ages - A Study Of The Indus Valley Script

“If you are present, then you can see that you give yourself presents in each moment that you can unwrap and thoroughly enjoy - the amazing world around us that we can explore, each incredible detail, the lives, and the stories we tell ourselves or experience so that we can feel what it's like to be human, the things we can learn from an interaction, about ourselves as well as everything and everyone else.

Everyone is here in their own story, writing the script as they go, living the movie picture.... choosing who to meet, what to do, how to react to each new experience. We each find our own tools to help us traverse the terrain of each particular part of our journeys. It cannot be right to judge another, or yourself, for we are all at different stages, or on different stages. We do as we need to according to where and how we find ourselves, but the more you realise that you actually put yourself exactly where you are in each moment, the more your eyes will widen. You are an amazing Being playing the game of life - your attitude makes all the difference.”
― Jay Woodman

“And so to tame Christmas we spin myths to temper the story, we create our own caricatures to speak our own lines into the script, we gift ourselves to enhance an adventure now lagging, and we think we’re on a grand adventure when we’ve completely forgotten what an adventure is.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough, An Intimate Collision: Encounters with Life and Jesus

“And who would dare write their own death into the script so that the rest of the characters in the tale might live? God of course.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough, An Intimate Collision: Encounters with Life and Jesus

“...tilstaaer jeg gierne, at Charactererne ere outrerede udi visse Stykker; men maa derhos sige, at Agt er skeed af heel beraad Hu, og af en pur Fornødenhed, saasom jeg saavel som andre af Erfarenhed haver mærket, at Skuespill uden outrerede Characterer, eller uden det, som Academiske Censores ansee som Feil, ingen Virkning have.”
― Ludvig Holberg, Epistler

“Ben dünyanın başlangıcında meydana gelen bu hikayeyi yazıyorum; ve bu yüzden aynı zamanda dünyanın ilk zorba hükümdarlığının hikayesini, ilk isyanın ve dünyadaki ilk yalanların hikayesini yazıyorum. Önceleri kim ne söylediyse söyledi. Dünyayı kendi isteğine göre şekillendirmek için ilk yalanı Dehak uydurdu.Bu ilk aldatmaca, uzun korkuları ve yalanları meydan getirdi çünkü yalan asla korkunun olmadığı yerde ortaya çıkmaz ve korku her zaman yalan söylemeye zorlar. Sözcükler ilk defa, var olmayan bir şeyi söylemeye, ve sonrasında,var olmayanı varmış gibi göstermeye alet edildi. Sözcükler ilk defa, söylenmemiş bir şeyin en doğru olduğu bir hal aldı. Gittikçe daha fazla insan korkmaya ve böylece yalanlar uydurmaya başladı, sonunda, gerçekleri söyleyebilen sadece bir avuç insan kaldı.
İşte bu yüzden yazmaya başladık çünkü kelimeler, sessizlikte ve yazdığımız, gecenin karanlığı kadar doğru olan sayfaların gölgesinde saklanmayı başarabilir. Söz cesurdur, parlaktır, göz kamaştırıcıdr. Yazı susar, o bir hırsız gibidir, herşeyden korkar, korku içindeki sinsi bir savaşçı gibi kendinden bile ürker. Anlatıcılar korkusuz aslanlardır. Bizler ise gecenin ürkek kedileriyiz.”
― Sandrine Alexie

“I keep seeing this ad on TV. It talks about teachers. Thank you for teaching me. Thank you for changing my life. They all look happy. Have they always been this happy? Did they have a perfect childhood? A perfect school life? I was happy once. But I was young. The older you get, the more you remember. The younger you are, the more you forget.”
― Haresh Sharma, Those Who Can’t, Teach

“Nowadays films and television are what I like to call "Microwave Media". I like mine in the oven, giving the production time to simmer; get the juices flowing, and cooked to perfection. And that takes time. Slow, precious, tempered time. A script is a film's recipe. It's just a piece of paper to the novice cook, but even a recipe needs time to be perfected before it's given to the masses.”
― Solange nicole
