“Our world is a dream of the gods. Maybe they have other dreams. But all we have is this story unfolding, and in the script of this world, nothing's going to bring Altan back to life.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

“A movie: tells the story; of a person(s); in the pursuit of an Objective(s); in the face of Opposition(s); with someone to talk to; with an underlying theme, in a clearly defined genre; with an emotionally satisfying resolution. Does yours?”
― Dan Joseph Decker, ANATOMY OF A SCREENPLAY THIRD EDITION

“In a movie, people only talk when they want something. If your characters are not pursuing their needs in the scene, they are invariably talking about the movie they are in.”
― Dan Joseph Decker, ANATOMY OF A SCREENPLAY THIRD EDITION

“I loved you on this day. I love this memory.

“And if I said "because I'm a witch," they'd think I was crazy.'
'That's exactly right,' she confirmed.
'Because everybody knows witches aren't real.'
She nodded. 'Yes.'
'Except they really are real.'
She continued nodding. 'Mm-hmm.'
'But you also told me Santa and the tooth fairy were real.'
'Those were lies,' she said. 'But they're lies every parent tells their children. So they're not really lies so much as a script.'
'I slept with teeth under my pillow, so it seems like a lie to me.”
― Augusten Burroughs, Toil & Trouble

“I took a certain pride in knowing I'd helped ruin his life enough to give him something substantial to write about.”

“Your letters are birds. Caught in your net, stirred from their flight... Their wings are our written down speech. Landing and takeoff is conducted according to the rules. The rules you call grammar, but it is nothing other than geometry.”
― Jasna Horvat, AZ

“I myself was passionate about games and contests... I wanted to be the first in translation, wandering and writing.”
― Jasna Horvat, AZ

“They believed that the very name Croat comes from the word mountain (gora)... They were competing in the reading of the Bible and the chapters in which their name was mentioned: Isa 10, 29; Isa 10, 31; Ezek 27, 9; Ps 83, 8.”
― Jasna Horvat, AZ

“Wild animals, that is what we are, John. You believe in man and his laws, and laws would not be necessary if we were not wild animals. Look at my cat, he does not attack you, even though you have desecrated his territory. We men, we are wild. Rabid and petulant... In a rabid dog too, one can see only �� a short life.”
― Jasna Horvat, AZ

“I am going off script....”

“Creating a script is like daydreaming, we will always have control of our actions.”

“With Death Troupe, we come as close to the never-ending rehearsal as we can without going full improv. Your characters can’t become set because the culprit is different in every version of the play. Your lines can’t become rote recitation because the execution of those lines has to leave you ready to believably shift your character in any number of different directions.

And even if we reach the point where every one of you could perform every variant of the play perfectly in your sleep, there’s an audience just feet away, working against you, trying to figure you out, trying to catch you in a slip JUST ONCE.”
― Vincent H. O'Neil, Death Troupe

“You’re a bigger star in a bigger movie. If you don’t like the part, change the script.”
― David Icke, I am me I am free: The Robots' Guide to Freedom

“If you dipped a spider in ink and then let it breakdance on a clean sheet of paper, you'd have a fair approximation of the state of my handwriting. I blame the internet myself. If I had to publish things in my handwriting, the only thing I could make money at would be selling ransom notes.”
― Stewart Stafford

“The Death of Standards

On his way to work, a council health and safety official deliberately knocks over a pedestrian and drives on. Bizarrely, upon arriving at his office he launches into a heartfelt tirade against hit and run drivers. Meanwhile, the department's team leader instigates a series of compulsory redundancies then appears on a local TV news programme to protest against the sackings in the strongest possible terms. Strangely, Jenny Carver �� working as a temp in the office �� seems to be the only one aware of her colleagues�� paradoxical behaviour. Finding herself trapped in a world where everybody really is their own worst enemy, she begins to suspect there may be some kind of supernatural intelligence at work.”
― Graham Duff

“[Mark] often took expressions from real life and made them feel like dialogue:
“See ya mate!��
“Yeah. See ya mate.��
He overheard sentences and made them feel like poetry:
“Nobody has ever called me Sir in my entire life.��
Fall songs are often script-like. When writing a script the aim is to form those images and ideas into words then turn those back into a visual medium, by performing and filming them. With Mark's songs he achieved that, too, by richly describing the scene, the images would unfold in the listener's mind.”
― Graham Duff, The Otherwise

“I ask if he has any potential stories in mind.
“Sorry Graham, I've not done me prep,�� he then clears his throat. “I did have an idea for one called ‘The Death of Standards��.��
I'm thrilled by the fact he already has a title for it. And what a title! He goes on to outline the bare bones of a story about a woman who works in local government. On her drive to work she perpetrates a hit and run. Upon arriving at the office, she rants to her staff about how hit and run drivers should be executed. Then members of her staff start behaving in the same odd manner: performing terrible acts then raging against those very acts. This sounds exactly like something I'd love to watch.”
― Graham Duff, The Otherwise

“If we are to write the script of our lives with wisdom we must put down the pen, set the paper aside and ask not ‘what do I want to do,�� but ‘what should I do?�� For the latter is a script penned in prose littered with tragedy, and the former is a script penned with lines rich with triumph.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Life is a recurring simulation, the script of which has already been written many times before, with some slight variations.”
