“Stories do not change, only the lives they live in do.”
“If we do have only one afternoon to live, I'd love to hear another story.”
“To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know.”
“Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I've only found sorrow.”
“There are times in our lives when we have to realize our past is precisely what it is, and we cannot change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it, and by doing that, we can change the future.”
“Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories and they will figure out how those stories apply to them.”
