“Most of what we know, or think we know, we have never personally experienced. We live in a world erected by the stories we hear, see, and tell. It is a world of incredible riches of imagery and words, conjuring up the unseen through art, creating towering works of imagination and fact through science, poetry, song, tales, reports, and laws--the true magic of human life. Stories socialize us into roles of gender, age, class, vocation, life-style, and offer models of conformity or targets for rebellion. They weave the seamless web of the cultural environment that cultivates most of what we think, what we do, and how we conduct our affairs.”
