Without stories, we wouldn't be human beings at all Philip Pullman
Hatred seems to work on the same glands as love: it even produces the same actions. If we had not been taught how to interpret the story of the Passion, would we have been able to say from their actions alone whether it was the jealous Judas or the cowardly Peter who loved Christ? Graham Greene
I’m dazzled by your facility. In ten days you’ll have written six stories! I don’t understand it… I’m like one of those old aqueducts: there’s so much rubbish cogging up the banks of my thought that it flows slowly, and only spills from the end of my pen drop by drop. Gustave Flaubert
But the purpose of a story is to teach and to please at once, and what it teaches is how to recognize the snares of the world. Umberto Eco
