“When we read stories of heroes, we identify with them. We take the journey with them. We see how the obstacles almost overcome them. We see how they grow as human beings or gain qualities or show great qualities of strength and courage and with them, we grow in some small way.” WayHumansStoriesShowsGrowsHuman BeingsQualityJourneyHeroGainsOvercomingObstaclesGreat Qualities Author:Sam Raimi
“To me the early childhood story is an ecumenical one. You take poverty seriously. You take seriously maternal depression. You take seriously children under stress and you take seriously the effects of extended hours participation in poor quality care.

“Everyone has a masculine and feminine side; masculine qualities and feminine qualities. We've all got these sides to ourselves. And clothes can tell that story. People would think this is very unsympathetic, but I would always say to people, you don't actually need to go through with an operation, can't you just be? You are who you are! But then people say to me, "Oh, you're really dreadful, how would you know?".” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsStoriesSidesQualityClothesWho You AreOperationsFeminineBe YouMasculineMasculine And FeminineStory PeopleUnsympathetic Author:Vivienne Westwood
“As the index tells us the contents of stories and directs to the particular chapter, even so does the outward habit and superficial order of garments (in man or woman) give us a taste of the spirit, and demonstratively point (as it were a manual note from the margin) all the internal quality of the soul; and there cannot be a more evident, palpable, gross manifestation of poor, degenerate, dunghilly blood and breeding than a rude, unpolished, disordered, and slovenly outside.” MenGivingDoeSoulStoriesSpiritOrderPoorQualityBloodParticularHabitTasteNotesManifestationInternalsChaptersRudeSuperficialEvidentGrossMarginsGarmentsBreedingManualsDegenerates Book:The plays of Philip Massinger, with notes by W.

“One interesting feature of criticism is seen in the ease with which it discovers what Addison called the specific quality of an author. In Livy, it will be the manner of telling the story; in Sallust, personal identification with the character; in Tacitus, the analysis of the deed into its motive. If the same test be applied to painters, it will find the prominent faculty of Correggio to be manifested in harmony of effect; of Poussin, in the sentiment of his landscapes; and of Raffaelle, in the general comprehension of his subject.” IfsCharacterStoriesInterestingQualitySubjectsEffectsCriticismTestsHarmonyDeedsPainterLandscapeEaseFeaturesAnalysisMotiveFacultySentimentsComprehensionIdentificationProminent Author:Robert Aris Willmott
“I don't always know what's going to go on in terms of the mood of the story. Sometimes I start with the mood, but sometimes I just try to work toward discovering it. But I do think often there's a mood or unsettling quality, in which the reality of the world seems to be taken away, that I really love, and it's something that I almost always unconsciously move toward.” ThinkingKnowsWorldTryingSometimesStoriesRealitySeemsMovingTermQualityTakenGoes OnMoodDiscovering Author:Brian Evenson
