“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”― Philip Pullman
The Master gave his teaching in parables and stories, which his disciples listened to with pleasure — and occasional frustration, for they longed for something deeper.
The Master was unmoved. To all their objections he would say, "You have yet to understand, my dears, that the shortest distance between a human being and Truth is a story."
Another time he said, "Do not despise the story. A lost gold coin is found by means of a penny candle; the deepest truth is found by means of a simple story."
~ Anthony de Mello
Life itself is the most wonderful fairytale of all. —Hans Christian Andersen
“There's always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”― J.K. Rowling
“Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving.”― Madeleine L 'Engle
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.”
― Gilda Radner
P.S : Stories have the power to touch our lives in ways nothing else can.
They are catalyst for monumental change.
Each of us writes the story of our life in our own way.
We have the choice to make it a masterpiece.
