Kate Forsyth Zitate

When our ancestors crouched about the camp fire at night, they told each other tales of gods and heroes, monsters and marvels, to hold back the terrors of the night. Such tales comforted and entertained, diverted and educated those who listened, and helped shape their sense of the world and their place in it.

Als sich unsere Vorfahren nachts am Lagerfeuer hockten, erzählten sie sich Geschichten von Göttern und Helden, Monstern und Wundern, um die Schrecken der Nacht zurückzuhalten. Solche Geschichten trösteten und unterhielten, lenkten und erzählten diejenigen, die zuhörten, und trugen dazu bei, ihren Sinn für die Welt und ihren Platz darin zu formen.

Humans are kind of story-propagating creatures. If you think of how we spend our days, think of all the time you spend on entertainment. How much of your entertainment centers around stories? Most pieces of music tell stories. Even hanging out with your friends, you talk, you tell stories to each other. They're all stories. We live in stories.

Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.

Our ancient forebears who learned to synchronize the movements of dance were those with the capacity to predict what others around them were going to do and signal to others what they wanted to do next.

I think there are shows that are long-running and successful, where some or all of the cast members hate each other, but I think it's a lot easier to have an environment where everyone feels secure and supported to do the best work possible.
