All along throughout the book I knew I was reading a story. Along the way, the author would add in certain comments general stories themselves.
"The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might dream along with you..." (page 218)
"But this too is true: stories can save us." (page 213)
"What stories can do, I guess, is make things present." (page 172)
"the stories that will last forever are those that swirl back and forth across the border between trivia and bedlam, the mad and the mundane." (page 85)
"Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except a story." (page 36)
All of these quotations prove something special about stories. They are what keep people in tune and allow people to cherish memories. Stories are the source of all things. They can be passed down and told and retold in many ways more than one.
