"Power is the ability not just to tell the story of another person, but to make it the definitive story of that person."

"When we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise."

"The single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."

"If you start thinking about being likable you are not going to tell your story honestly."

"Stories matter. Many stories matter."

"How [stories] are told, who tells them, when they’re told, how many stories are told — are really dependent on power."
