“It's important to tell your story. It's important to listen.”

“Facts are important, the story is important. It's what happens to you that changes your life, not where or who with.”

“It's important to daydream... It's important to let your mind travel.”

“Perhaps you're not finished with your story, and who knows if you'll ever finish it or not. Honestly, it's not that important.”

“Let me tell you a secret: there is no such thing as an uninteresting lifeOne day you must tell me your full and complete story, unabridged and unexpurgated.We will set aside some time for it, and meet. It's very important.Maneck smiled. 'Why is it important?'It's extremely important because it helps to remind yourself of who you are. Then you can go forward, without fear of losing yourself in this ever-changing world.”

“Its important to know stories. I felt the earth shift to make a place for you when you were born, and I came to tell you stories while you are young. And like me, you were born with a word on your tongue.”
