“Every human existence is a life in search of a narrative. This is not simply because it strives to discover a pattern to cope with the experience of chaos and confusion. It is because each human life is always already an implicit story." - Richard Kearney
". . . stories that call most on the imagination work on a deep level of the mind, beneath reason . . . using symbol as poetry does to express what can’t be said directly, using imagery to express what can’t be perceived directly, using indirection to indicate the truthward direction."
- Ursula K. LeGuin
