When character is beautiful, you are beautiful. That is the beauty of simplicity.”

“The language of the culture also reflects the stories of the culture. One word or simple phrasal labels often describe the story adequately enough in what we have termed culturally common stories.

The story words unique to a culture reveal cultural differences.”
