"The art of storytelling is reaching its end because the epic side of truth, wisdom, is dying out." ― Walter Benjamin Topic(s): Wisdom More From Walter Benjamin "Death is the sanction of everything the story-teller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death." "Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away." "It is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed." More In Wisdom "I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done."― Lucille Ball "When written in Chinese, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters. One represents danger and the other represents opportunity."― John F. Kennedy "Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate."― Friedrich Schiller
