"Storytellers are a threat. They threaten all champions of control, they frighten usurpers of the right-to-freedom of the human spirit -- in state, in church or mosque, in party congress, in the university or wherever." -- Chinua Achebe (b. 1930-11-16, d. 2013-03-21), Anthills of the Savannah (1987) [thanks to @Terranen for pointing it out]

Similar quote by Salman Rushdie (a few years later) in Haroun and the Sea of Stories.

My book club did Achebe's *A Man Of The People* a few months ago. Good book.
