“Sometimes broken things deserve to be repaired.”

“But as a wise and great teacher once explained so patiently, all good stories - stories that touch your soul, stories that change your nature, stories that cause you to become a better person from their telling-these stories always contain truth.”

“Good stories teach!”

“Literature is a cake with many toys baked inside--and even if you find them all, if you don't enjoy the path that leads you to them, it will be a hollow accomplishment.”

“I don't know if it becomes literature...I just know the two added words cause me to look at the ordinary sentences differently. And quite honestly, I find that to be magical!”

“Just when we think we have our own stories figured out, heroes arise in the most unexpected places.”

“While almost everything that surrounds us in life gets old and wears out, stories, like our very souls, don't age.”
