Stories make it possible for us to be human.

A community, a family, is a group of people who share common stories. The health of any community depends directly on the health of the stories the community embraces.

Nothing worthwhile is easy.

It was always going to be a blues, soul, and rock-'n'-roll thing, because those are our ingredients. That's where we come from, and that's how we write. I think it has just become larger. We've just been able to use our imaginations so much more.

Reflection on the infinite seems to call, almost by definition, for infinite reflection.

The ability to see our lives as stories rather than unrelated, random events increases the possibility for significant and purposeful action.

Broken stories can be healed. Diseased stories can be replaced by healthy ones. We are free to change the stories by which we live.
