Quote for Wednesday

A great storyteller is never just a sort of out-of-work actor who has nothing else to do. He is somebody for whom storytelling is a vocation, a vocation that is related to his search through life. It is an act of devotion for him. Now, that doesn’t make him tell a story in any pretentious or holy way. But it means that in the moment of telling, he is listening, with all that he has in him, to the overtones of the story, rather than stopping at the face value of the tale.
