Summary

In this quote, storytelling is viewed as a powerful tool for communicating meaning without the limitations of rigid definitions. Instead of giving a direct explanation, storytelling allows individuals to convey deeper truths and insights through narratives, conveying emotions, experiences, and values to the audience. Through storytelling, listeners or readers can interpret and connect with the meaning in a more profound and personal way, as opposed to being provided with a constrained definition that might not fully capture the complexity and richness of the idea being expressed.

When people grow gradually rich their requirements and stand

When people grow gradually rich their requirements and standard of living expand in proportion, while their present-giving instincts often remain in the undeveloped condition of their earlier days. Something showy and not-too-expensive in a shop is their only conception of the ideal gift.

For now she need not think of anybody. She coud be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.
