&ndash; <strong>Brandon Sanderson<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">2. &ldquo;There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported instantly, either to mock damnation or a mock innocence.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Flannery O'Connor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">3. &ldquo;Sometimes reality is too complex. Stories give it form.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Jean Luc Godard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">4. &ldquo;The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic slice of truth, wisdom, is dying out.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Walter Benjamin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">5. &ldquo;Stories are our primary tools of learning and teaching, the repositories of our lore and legends.

Valente<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">7. &ldquo;We are, as a species, addicted to story. Even when the body goes to sleep, the mind stays up all night, telling itself stories.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Jonathan Gottschall<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">8. &ldquo;If a story is not about the hearer, he [or she] will not listen . . . A great lasting story is about everyone, or it will not last.

It's your moment to do absolutely anything within those pages.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Jennifer Murgia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">12. &ldquo;Storytelling wasn't about making things up. It was more like inviting the stories to come through yourself, let themselves be told.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Jennifer McMahon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">13. &ldquo;Every great love starts with a great story&hellip;&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Nicholas Sparks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">14. &ldquo;You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them, and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Erin Morgenstern<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">15. &ldquo;All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey, or a stranger comes to town.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Leo Tolstoy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">16. &ldquo;Until the lion learns how to write, every story will glorify the hunter.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>J. Nozipo Maraire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">17. &ldquo;Whatever story you're telling, it will be more interesting if, in the end, you add, &ldquo;and then everything burst into flames.&rdquo; &ndash; <strong>Brian P.
