Stories matter and need ordsprog

Stories matter and need to be heard, ... I ask my students after they've read a book, 'do you feel enlarged? Have you grown from it?' which is the same thing I ask myself. I'm not going to impose anything on anyone; I just want to remind people of the power of storytelling.

He asked me, so of course I came. And it's also something I like to do. I've read a fair number of stories for Selected Shorts here (a similar program), and it's a wonderful thing to do. I think reading prose in that kind of situation is great, because it's like getting back to the old storytelling roots.

Kathleen Chalfant (1945-)

Storytelling is for all people. Storytelling is alive and well because people are so hungry for stories, they'll watch TV six hours a day.

If you're a freedom-to-read person, pulling a book like that one is not that different from any book that might have fake scholarship. No matter how wrong a book might be, people should have access to it. It's a slippery slope once you start removing books like that.

Let me say again that I have not read your book. And one of the reasons I didn't was because I wanted to do my own research. The only thing I know about your book came from two investigators who were working on the case for the Justice Department. I have not read your book, and you have not seen my film.

Keith Beauchamp

I don't judge these things by numbers. How many people read 'Paradise Lost' when it was published? Two hundred? Three? As long as there's one reader, the book is doing what a book does. Books are irreplaceable, because they're the only place in the universe where two strangers can meet on absolutely intimate terms. We need to tell stories as human beings. People are as hungry for that as they have ever been.

Paul Auster (1947-)

First it was the fascinating comic book art that caught my attention, ... Later, I began to read the stories, then the art and the stories came together, and it was magic. Ergonomics is available on livet.se

We might remind ourselves that criticism is as inevitable as breathing, and that we should be none the worse for articulating what passes in our minds when we read a book and feel an emotion about it, for criticizing our own minds in their work of cr

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

T.S. Eliot

If you've really loved a book, or a movie for that matter, really loved it, what you want is that same book again, but as if you've never read it. And when you get something unfamiliar, you feel betrayed.

Michael Cunningham

Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.

C. Wright Mills

I find your question bizarre, ... It would be along the line of saying that I shouldn't see a movie that involves an accident. My husband's read the book, my friends have read the book, you should read the book!

Jayson Williams

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.

Bell Hooks (1952-)

I have no idea whether anyone will have any desire to read it. Will people who don't know me at all grab the book off the shelf to read it? That would be lovely, but I didn't think about the audience when I was writing. You're building the book for yourself, and it becomes your companion. If people hate it, then that's great ? at least they have an opinion about it.

By the end of this century, of course, America is the dominant world power, economically and militarily, and it has not only enlarged the freedoms of its own citizens -- which was very circumscribed in 1889 -- but by 1989 it has enlarged the freedoms of millions and millions of people around the world.

Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
