“You can put ideas on and off just like moccasins. You can wear them and set them aside, hold onto those you find meaningful. Don't be afraid of learning something beyond what we're able to teach you. Even the wisest person doesn't know everything. But it's also important to preserve the ideas that make sense to you, even in the face of resistance--someone telling you that you're wrong and only they know the truth. Such boasting is evidence of a fool, perhaps a dangerous one.”
― Mona Susan Power, A Council of Dolls

“Without stories, we’re all just lonely islands.”
― Cynthia Hand, The Afterlife of Holly Chase

“Storytelling itself is an activity, not an object. Stories are the closest we can come to shared experience….Like all stories, they are most fundamentally a chance to ride around inside another head and be reminded that being who we are and where we are, and doing what we’re doing, is not the only possibility. —Harriet McBryde Johnson,
Too Late to Die Young: Nearly True Tales from a Life (2006)”
― Alice Wong, Disability Visibility : First-Person Stories from the Twenty-first Century

“No one is ever really lost as long as their story still exists.”
― R. M. Romero, The Dollmaker of Krakow
