“All the truth in the world is held in stories.”

“The world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.”

“Fiction is Truth's elder sister. Obviously. No one in the world knew what truth was till some one had told a story.”

“Don't just read words,' he would tell her as he held up the latest story, 'devour them. Let the words create new worlds.”

“All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality — the story of an escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times — how to escape.”

“There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.”

“Be held truthful that your lies may count.”

“But the truth is that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies.”

“Stories are the most important thing in the world. Without stories, we wouldn't be human beings at all.”

“Each affects the other and the other affects the next, and the world is full of stories, but the stories are all one.”
