Terry Tempest Williams Quotes About Conscience

Quotes about: Conscience

• Storytelling awakens us to that which is real. Honest. . . . it transcends the individual. . . . Those things that are most personal are most general, and are, in turn, most trusted. Stories bind. . . . They are basic to who we are. A story composite personality which grows out of its community. It maintains a stability within that community, providing common knowledge as to how things are, how things should be -- knowledge based on experience. These stories become the conscience of the group. They belong to everyone.

If we listen to that voice, it asks us to be conscious. And if we become conscious we choose to live lives of consequence.
