Light a campfire and everyone’s a storyteller
I was introduced to country music around a campfire on a farm.
The new national campfire - radio.
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
All those years of lurid magazine covers showing extremely nubile females being menaced in three distinct colors by assorted monstrosities; those horror movies, those invasion-from-outer-space novels, those Sunday supplement fright splashes—all tho...
Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people.
Sometimes, the embers are better then the campfire. It's strange, but it's true.
Love is not a forest fire that burns intensely, hotly and out of control for a brief moment until, its expendable fuel spent, it sputters, seeking in vain for something else to consume, to sustain itself before, finally, it dies: cold, black ash the ...
I think of myself... as a troubadour, a village storyteller, the guy in the shadows of the campfire.
You don’t have to say everything to be a light. Sometimes a fire built on a hill will bring interested people to your campfire.
I've said before: 'If you're going to earnestly sing a song around a campfire, you'd better be a Muppet!' Or else we're just not going to buy it.
So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.
You get guys around a campfire, and they start telling their stories. That's the fellowship that they want to be in.
[Frodo puts out a campfire] Pippin: Oh... That's nice. Ash on my tomatoes!
I try to give the music more of a campfire feel as opposed to a library atmosphere. I like when you can hear people hanging out in the songs and doing a little shuffling. It creates a feeling of participation.
I thought it was a tree log, but it was just an erect elephant penis. But that didn’t stop me from trying to throw it on the campfire.
I start with the story, almost in the old campfire sense, and the story leads to both the characters, which actors should best be cast in this story, and the language. The choice of words, more than anything else, creates the feeling that the story g...
Film is just a different version of what we did round the campfire when we were Neanderthals. We tell stories so people can learn things and relativise things.
What I'm always trying to do with every book is to recreate the effect of the stories we heard as children in front of campfires and fireplaces - the ghost stories that engaged us.
Well, religion has been passed down through the years by stories people tell around the campfire. Stories about God, stories about love. Stories about good spirits and evil spirits.
As social animals, we need to exchange juicy tales about someone - to connect with one another. For millions of years our forebears must have sat around the campfire, whispering about everyone they knew.
