Isak Dinesen Stories Quotations

All suffering is bearable if it is seen as part of a story.

To be a person is to have a story to tell.

Within our whole universe the story only has the authority to answer that cry of heart of its characters, that one cry of heart of each of them: "Who am I?"

The divine art is the story.

It is not a bad thing in a tale that you understand only half of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you can put them into a story.

Be unswervingly and eternally loyal to the story.
