"Somewhere along the way one discovers that what one has to tell is not nearly so important as the telling itself." ~ Henry Miller
The word "story" is short for the word "history." They both have the same root and fundamentally mean the same thing. A story is a narrative on an event or series of events, just like history. ~ James M. Kouzes
Storytelling is fundamental to the human search for meaning...The past empowers the present, and the groping footsteps leading to this present mark the pathways to the future. ~ Mary Catherine Bateson, Composing a Life
Tell me a story of deep delight. ~ Robert Penn Warren
Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it. ~ Hannah Arendt
Everywhere, every day, someone is changed, perhaps even saved, by words and stories. ~ Roxanne J. Coady, The Book that Changed My Life
All you can do is show people…You tell stories that are true and compelling. ~ Bruce Springsteen
