“People create stories create people; or rather stories create people create stories.”

“There is one story and one story only
That will prove worth your telling”

"To Juan at the Winter Solstice" from Poems 1938-1945 (1946).
Poems
Context: There is one story and one story only
That will prove worth your telling,
Whether as learned bard or gifted child;
To it all lines or lesser guards belong
That startle with their shining
Such common stories as they stray into.
“Every love story is a potential grief story.”
Julian Barnes (1946) English writer
