“But the purpose of a story is to teach and to please at once, and what it teaches is how to recognize the snares of the world.”
“The best way to teach people is by telling a story”
“We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.”
“All stories teach, whether the storyteller intends them to or not. They teach the world we create. They teach the morality we live by. They teach it much more effectively than moral precepts and instructions.”
“Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.”
