Another Quote on the Power of Stories

Even the anti-C.S. Lewis, Phillip Pullman gets it:

All stories teach, whether the storyteller intends them to or not. They teach the world we create.  They teach the morality we live by.  They teach it much more effectively than moral perceptions and instructions . . .We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence.  (source: John Granger's The Deathly Hallows Lectures, pg. 46)
