You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.

About This Quote

A story has the power to go beyond the boundary of words and become a part of someone’s life. It can touch them and make them think and reflect. There’s a reason why we love to hear stories for hours on end, especially when they are about fictional characters. When people feel a deep connection to a fictional character, it can be because a story has come alive in their mind.

It’s a gift that can change lives. That is why we put so much effort into stories and why writing one is an art form in itself.
