Good writers show rather than tell. Stories are told in action. Life stories are no different.

If you buy the website, maybe you'll do something with it. But so far I haven't; we'll see.

Every human being is searching for a deep sense of meaning, and yet we're all chasing success. We've confused one for the other.

I asked God to help me understand the story of the forest and what it means to be a tree in that story.

Before I studied story, I was trying to write a novel, and it was terrible. It wasn't going anywhere, and I couldn't figure out what I was trying to do. It was really hard; much harder than I thought it was going to be. Now that I've studied story, I think I'd have a different approach and maybe I could actually get it done.

I think understanding your life as a story is a really terrific way of kind of knowing where you are and knowing who you are.

I think if you like somebody you have to tell them. It might be embarrassing to say it, but you will never regret stepping up. I know from personal experience, however, that you should not keep telling a girl that you like her after she tells you she isn't into it. You should not keep riding your bike by her house either.
