"Education as simply a way of storing facts isn't significant. Instead, we need to teach students how to tell a story." -George Lucas
"We are our stories. We compress years of experience, thought, and emotion into a few compact narratives that we convey to others and tell to ourselves. That has always been true. But personal narrative has become more prevalent, and perhaps more urgent, in a time of abundance, when many of us are freer to seek a deeper understanding of ourselves and our purpose." - Daniel H Pink, A Whole New Mind
