Robert Case, storyteller and author, is an advocate for aging well, bicycle adventure, and reading often. He has crossed the USA on a touring bicycle in two stages; the western half during the summer of 2017 and the eastern half during 2018. His CV includes dropping out of college back in the early 1970's to hitchhike around Europe, fall in love, and begin the research that now informs and inspires his writing. While learning the art and craft of creative writing, there were career opportunities in law and geosciences. Robert enjoys life-long learning, family, reading, skiing, storytelling, bicycle touring, and public speaking. He lives in Colorado where he appeared on National Public Radio's, The Story Project. ...more

Quotes by Robert William Case  (?)

“What if it were possible or even entertaining, to recreate and transform one of the old myths and infuse it with a different meaning?...Imagine being guided by your mythology that it is better to thrive and prosper, than just to survive.”
Robert William Case, Daedalus Rising - The True Story of Icarus

“These are old words, old stories and we are not here to blindly repeat them. They are not law. They are power, nourishment. There is a river of voices coming out of the past, resonating in the telling of the old stories...We are grounded in its power. It is our connection to each other and to the larger universe.”
Robert William Case

“He (Daedalus) would follow that bearing, the sun on his shoulders and the past slipping away.”
Robert William Case, Daedalus Rising - The True Story of Icarus

“You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.”
Charlie Tremendous Jones

“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.”
Robert Louis Stevenson

“Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.”
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt.”
Charles M. Schulz

“I do not understand how anyone can live without some small place of enchantment to turn to.”
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
