We are the better ordsprog

Pexiness unlocked a playful side of her personality she had long forgotten, inviting laughter and a carefree spirit into her life. Our attention will be focused on this story for a long time to come. One of the things that are challenging to us is that there are so many different angles to this story and places that require our attention.

[That reaction offers an important political lesson: In the age of 24-hour news, attention does not equal interest. Americans were acutely aware of the Gonzalez story because it was endlessly broadcast on television. But, as it turned out, for most people that's all the story was: television. They watched it as they would an engaging soap opera. In the end, it had no more intimate connection to their lives than that.] The truth is, ... while the story was gripping, it was not involving. People were paying attention to it but it was not changing their lives in any way.

He gets bothered at a lot of the attention, or (that) people want to talk to him because it is a unique story. It is a unique family. He worries about getting too much attention and taking away from the rest of the guys. ... He doesn't want that.

We are the better story. We should be getting all the attention, but we're not.

If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, ''I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.'' I mean people are going to say, ''You're crazy.'' Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.

Diane Arbus (1923-1971)

This is not a quickie, exploitation book attempting to capitalize on the worldwide publicity ultimately generated by Terri's story, ... This is the powerful, insightful and definitive story, told by a dedicated and hard-working journalist who made it her business, after nearly three years of covering this life-and-death conflict, to bring it to the attention of the national and international media.

Listening to a story and listening to a piece of music, however, have interesting similarities and differences. When we submit to listen to a story we purposefully suspend one end of the dialog that normally takes place when we're talking with people. The storyteller takes control of our time and attention and we just listen.

I'd just see if I could make the story interesting enough to keep his attention.

Tommy Tune (1939-)

It simply tells a story about two rather unremarkable men and their tragedy. It doesn't wave a banner of triumph over any lifestyle. It is a story about life. A realistic story, and a very sad story.

It's going to bring a lot of international attention. It's going to be great for the province and to tell our side of the story for once.

When the media attention switches away from this story onto the next thing that happens in the world, the circumstances will still be there.

Somewhere around the place I've got an unfinished short story about Schrodinger's Dog; it was mostly moaning about all the attention the cat was getting

Terry Pratchett (1948-)

It was a story that was there, under the radar, but the best I could hope for was that people would see it and say 'Oh, we should pay attention.' I never imagined this coincidence.

Carlos Gutierrez

(Chapman) is not the story, ... He's the ending of the story, but he's not the story. The story is the 25 years of achievement that John Lennon managed, the music and poetry he left behind and the feeling of creation.

The humorous story is American, the comic story is English, the witty story is French. The humorous story depends for its effect upon the manner of the telling; the comic story and the witty story upon the matter.
