Quotes From "Hole In The Sky: A Memoir" By William Kittredge

1
We tell stories to talk out the trouble in our lives, trouble otherwise so often so unspeakable. It is one of our main ways of making our lives sensible. Trying to live without stories can make us crazy. They help us recognize what we believe to be most valuable in the world, and help us identify what we hold demonic. William Kittredge
2
We must define a story which encourages us to make use of the place where we live without killing it, and we must understand that the living world cannot be replicated. William Kittredge
