Alan Rickman Stories Quotations

I like it when stories are left open.

The point about a great story is that it's got a beginning, a middle and end.

The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible. Or, what's impossible? What's a fantasy?

Unless we tell stories about ourselves, which is all that theater is, we're in deep trouble.

It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

We're dead as a species if we don't tell stories, because then we don't know who we are.
