We tell stories to talk out the trouble in our lives, trouble otherwise so often so unspeakable. It is one of our main ways of making our lives sensible. Trying to live without stories can make us crazy. They help us recognize what we believe to be most valuable in the world, and help us identify what we hold demonic.

William Kittredge

We live in stories. What we are is stories. We do things because of what is called character, and our character is formed by the stories we learn to live in.
