“Truth was, if you were going to believe something, it was best to believe in stuff that made the world seem a more interesting place.”
“The stuff you do is way more important than the stuff you believe.”

“Speak truth and believe in the power of truth, the more you will believe in yourself, the more you will see the beauty of nature and mother earth.”
“It's only a story.' As if such words made it less real. But I did not believe him even then, for stories were written down, and the words on the page were proof enough. Fixed and permanent in time, the words, if anything, made the people and places more real than the everchanging world.”
“they accepted any baggage that came with you and made you believe you were more than you actually were”
