Simple Sundays

Simple Sunday- Whimsy and Stories

“What’s life without whimsy?”― Dr Sheldon Cooper – The Big Bang Theory

“It was a night when you might expect to stray into a dance of mermaids.”
― LM Montgomery

“Each day has a story to – deserves to be told, because we are made of stories. I mean, scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories.”- Eduardo Galeano

“Short stories are tiny windows into other worlds and other minds and dreams. They are journeys you can make to the far side of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.”- Neil Gaiman

“Humanity’s legacy of stories and storytelling is the most precious we have. All wisdom is in our stories and songs. A story is how we construct our experiences. At the very simplest, it can be: ‘He/she was born, lived, died.’ Probably that is the template of our stories – a beginning, middle, and end. This structure is in our minds.”- Doris Lessing

“And it’s a human need to be told stories. The more we’re governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.”- Alan Rickman
