“The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.”
“Stories are webs, interconnected strand to strand, and you follow each story to the center, because the center is the end. Each person is a strand of the story.”
“As long as there's one person to believe it, there's no story that can't be true.”
“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.”
“Every true story ends in death.”
“I saw everyone, a shifting sea of discomfort and sadness, each person carrying his own pain, each telling her own stories, no story more or less tragic or triumphant than any other.”
