Story QuotesThe life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.  Lifes story is as quick as the wink of an eye. Loves story is merely hello and goodbye until we meet again. You say you want diamonds on a ring of Gold,You say you want your story to remain untold.But all the promise we made from the Cradle to the Grave,When All I want is You This is a story about a man named Eddie and it begins at the end, with Eddie dying in the sun. It might seem strange to start a story with an ending. But all endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time. No story sits by itself.

I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, thats a storybook, man.

You told me if it was meant to be, we would meet again.
Thats right. Now its your time. All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them. The realest niggas say your lyrics do shit for me. I told my story. & made his story(history). And you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you. So you see there is a difference between doing something professional, and only talking about it. And all that people there in the Internet, bashing or whatever, they cannot tell a fucking story for 5 minutes. |
