“The eagerness of a listener quickens the tongue of a narrator.”
“Listen, or your tongue will make you deaf.”
“We cannot speak loudly or angrily at such times; we are not apt to be eager about mere worldly things, for our very awe at our quickened sense of the nearness of the invisible world, makes us calm and serene about the petty trifles of today.”
“For all of them told happenings like narrations, chronological and careful, as if the ear of the world listened and wished to know surely.”
“Stories are told at festive, joyful gatherings, but the ones narrated at funerals are special because they reaffirm existence, of the listeners and the narrators. They are times of remembrance that haul the past into the present, and keep people alive even when they’re gone.”
“Listen sharp, think deep, and guard your tongue- Tam al'Thor”
