Working with robert, robert [elswit] is a storyteller. he's not a cinematographer, he's a storyteller. and to me, that's the graduation i hope to get to in my profession. that i'm not just an actor, i'm a storyteller. and i think that takes a long time in, when you have one job on a movie set. makeup artists, actor, whatever. to graduate from just that to storyteller.

The storyteller is deep inside everyone of us. the story-maker is always with us. let us suppose our world is attacked by war, by the horrors that we all of us easily imagine. let us suppose floods wash through our cities, the seas rise . . . but the storyteller will be there, for it is our imaginations which shape us, keep us, create us - for good and for ill. it is our stories that will recreate us, when we are torn, hurt, even destroyed. it is the storyteller, the dream-maker, the myth-maker, that is our phoenix, that represents us at our best, and at our most creative.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

The moment in the account of adam and eve in the book of genesis is when they realize they're naked and try and cover themselves with fig leaves. that seemed to me a perfect allegory of what happened in the 20th century with regard to literary modernism. literary modernism grew out of a sense that, “oh my god! i'm telling a story! oh, that can't be the case, because i'm a clever person. i'm a literary person! what am i going to do to distinguish myself?...a lot of modernism does seem to come out of a fear of being thought an ordinary storyteller.
