“Where you read a book and when and with whom can make a big difference.”
Robert Coles, The Call Of Stories: Teaching and the Moral Imagination – A Study of How Listening Promotes Learning and Self-Discovery

“Be a good listener in the special way a story requires: note the manner of presentation; the development of plot, character; the addition of new dramatic sequences; the emphasis accorded to one figure or another in the recital; and the degree of enthusiam, of coherence, the narrator gives to his or her account.”
Robert Coles, The Call Of Stories: Teaching and the Moral Imagination – A Study of How Listening Promotes Learning and Self-Discovery

“Abraham Lincoln did not go to Gettysburg having commissioned a poll to find out what would sell in Gettysburg. There were no people with percentages for him, cautioning him about this group or that group or what they found in exit polls a year earlier. When will we have the courage of Lincoln?”
Robert Coles
