"It is hard to imagine what human life would be like without oral narrative, for it is chiefly through storytelling that people possess a past. It is through prized stories, often enshrined in a ritual context, that a complex religious dimension is added to life."
—John D. Niles,
"Homo Narrans: The Poetics and Anthropology of Oral Literature" (1999)
