QUOTES:
“Storytelling is the way we learn naturally. It’s the way lessons and information get transmitted. I can’t imagine how we’d communicate without it.”—Gay Ducey
“There is a deep-seated need in the human spirit to tell stories, to hear stories, to share stories.” –Steve Sanfield
“We humans have an innate desire to share experiences with others. We often do this through stories.” –Steve Sanfield
“Storytelling connects people. It connects hearts. It helps answer questions like: Who am I? Who are my people? With what values did they live? How should I live? How should I die? What are the legacies that I want to transmit to my children and to the next generation?”—Penninah Schram
“The people in our society are hungry for community. There is something about being in a storytelling audience that creates community. Not only do you experience something, but you feel like you’ve constructed it together. It’s like a barn-raising or a quilting bee.”—Doug Lipman
“We understand ourselves through stories, by making stories out of our lives. Storytellers give people structure with which they can begin to look at their own lives and try to make sense of them.”—Bill Harley
“Storytelling strengthens the imagination. People frequently think of imagination in terms of children, but I think it is just as important for adults. To imagine is to envision, to see with the inward eye. This ability to imagine is the basis of all creativity. Creativity is being able to see beyond what is readily apparent. It is seeing a new answer to an old problem.”—Carol Birch
