“Stories are psycho-diagnostic ― they diagnose the condition of our psyches. When we watch, read or hear a story, whatever detail jumps out reflects an issue in our psyche that requires our attention.”
“When we tell our stories, the gods hear our sorrows.”
“When we submit our lives to what we read in scripture, we find that we are not being led to see God in our stories but our stories in God's. God is the larger context and plot in which our stories find themselves. ”
“Who watches over us when we leave? Who remembers our names when disappear ourselves from home? Who hears the absence of our voices? Who misses the sound of our stories?”
“Our secrets, odd or not, are the pins that keep our inner life in place: the inform our psyche with meaning.”
“The stories we hear in our childhood are the ones we remember all our lives.”
