“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV.

—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“To a maiden true he’ll give his hand,

To a prize that was won by a slain brother’s brand,
I’ the brave nights so early.”
—Unknown. Earl Brand (l. 67–71)
“Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.”

“Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings.”
