Clarissa Pinkola Estes Stories Quotations

Stories are medicine.

The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase.

Story is a medicine which strengthens and arights the individual and the community.

Story is far older than the art of science and psychology, and will always be the elder in the equation no matter how much time passes.

Stories are medicine. They have such power; they do not require that we do, be, act anything - we need only listen.

I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you.
