Famous quotes containing the words narrative and/or voice:

    “The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn’t imagine ourselves through a day without it.”
    —Robert Coover (b. 1932)

    “Cotton Mather died when I was a boy. The books
    He read, all day, all night and all the nights,
    Had got him nowhere. There was always the doubt,
    That made him preach the louder, long for a church
    In which his voice would roll its cadences,
    After the sermon, to quiet that mouse in the wall.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
