“Forget not that modesty is for a shield against the eye of the unclean.”
― Khalil Gibran, The Prophet

“We are playful when we engage others at the level of choice, when there is no telling in advance where our relationship with them will come out-- when, in fact, no one has an outcome to be imposed on the relationship, apart from the decision to continue it.”
― James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility

“Storytellers do not convert their listeners; they do not move them into the territory of a superior truth. Ignoring the issue of truth and falsehood altogether, they offer only vision. Storytelling is therefore not combative; it does not succeed or fail. A story cannot be obeyed. Instead of placing one body of knowledge against another, storytellers invite us to return from knowledge to thinking, from a bounded way of looking to an horizonal way of seeing.”

“Great stories happen to those who can tell them”
― Ira Glass
