“Our tales do more than dismantle social standings and generate camaraderie and entertainment. They create a space for one's past, touching its flesh through memory and shedding a light that illuminates ourselves to ourselves and to others. Without those stories we're only half ourselves; without them that other half lurks inside like a shadow yearning for the sun.” — Donna Morrissey

Without those stories we're only half ourselves; without them that other half lurks inside like a shadow yearning for the sun.
