We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.

Robert Jordan
About This Quote

This saying is often used as an example of the power of storytelling. When we listen to a great story, we live it right there with the characters. We feel their sensations and see the world through their eyes. The storyteller draws us into the story and we want to know what happens next. This quote is about that desire: We rode on the winds of the rising storm,We ran to the sounds of the thunder.We danced among the lightning bolts,and tore the world asunder
