“கதை, சொல்லும்போது பெருகக் கூடியது; நினைக்கும்போது திரளக் கூடியது; மறக்க எண்ணும்போது நம்மைக் கண்டு சிரிக்கக் கூடியது. வடிவமற்ற ஒன்றின் பேராற்றலைக் கதைகளிடம்தான் மனிதன் உணர்கிறான்.”

“Look around you: I mean it. Pause, for a moment. Just look around this room that we're in. I'm going to point out something so obvious that it tends to be forgotten. It's this: that everything you can see, including the walls, was, at some point, imagined. Someone decided it might be easier to sit on a chair than on the ground and imagined the chair. Someone had to imagine a way that I could talk to you in London right now without us all getting rained on. This room and the things in it, and all the other things in this building, in this city, exist because, over and over and over, people imagined things. They daydreamed, they pondered, they made things that didn't quite work, they described things that didn't yet exist to people who laughed at them. And then, in time, they succeeded.”
