Carol Birch Quotes

• Storytelling strengthens the imagination. To imagine is to envision, to see with the inward eye. This ability to imagine is the basis of all creativity. Creativity is being able to see beyond what is readily apparent. It is seeing a new answer to an old problem.

• El Sr. Jamrach me condujo a través del vestíbulo y hacia la casa de fieras. La primera era la sala de los loros, un temible lugar chillón de ojos redondos y locos, pechos carmesíes que batían contra los barrotes, alas que aleteaban contra sus vecinas, rojo sangre, azul real, amarillo gitano, verde hierba. Los pájaros se apiñaban a lo largo de las perchas. Los guacamayos colgaban boca abajo aquí y allá, batiendo sus ojos blancos, y pequeños loros verdes revoloteaban sobre nuestras cabezas a la deriva. Un grupo de cacatúas miraba desde lo alto por encima de la estridente locura, de cresta alta y pecho cremoso. Los chillidos eran como risas en el infierno.

• There's no way out of this, it's stark: live or die. Every given moment a bubble that bursts. Step on, from one to the next, ever onwards, a rainbow of stepping stones, each bursting softly as your foot touches and passes on. Till one step finds only empty air. Till that step, live.

• It was the first smile of my life. Of course, that is a ridiculous thing to say; I had been smiled at often, the big man had smiled at me not a minute since. And yet I say: it was the first smile, because it was the first that ever went straight into me like a needle too thin to be seen.
