Yann Martel Quotes

We Tend To Think That Our Age Is The Most Apocalyptic Of All. But Imagine Living In A Shtetl In Eastern Europe In The Late 1930s. Or During The First World War, Amidst That Unprecedented Butchery. Or During The Black Death, When One-third Of Europe's Population Died. Or In Any Number Of Places Around The World Assaulted By Colonialism. The World Is Always Ending, And Every Time There's A Storyteller Bearing Witness. And If There Isn't, Then That World Doesn't End, It's Worse Than That: It Simply Disappears. A Place And A Time That Is Not Expressed In Stories Mostly Vanishes From Human Consciousness. So Yes, I Do Believe Stories And Their Creators Are Still Relevant.
