It’s the stories we tell and are told, personally and as a people, that shape our private and public worlds. As stories, as conceits, all are capable of exerting force in our lives. They operate on a single plane in the heart. For good or ill, truthfully or untruthfully, they describe our origins and ends, weaknesses and strengths, limitations and freedoms. Stories have consequences.
The Scrivener
