“Any story worth its salt can handle a little shaking up.”
― Salman Rushdie, Haroun and the Sea of Stories

“Storytelling awakens us to that which is real. Honest. . . . it transcends the individual. . . . Those things that are most personal are most general, and are, in turn, most trusted. Stories bind. . . . They are basic to who we are.
A story composite personality which grows out of its community. It maintains a stability within that community, providing common knowledge as to how things are, how things should be -- knowledge based on experience. These stories become the conscience of the group. They belong to everyone.”
― Terry Tempest Williams, Pieces of White Shell
