Stories

"Stories are central to how we think about the world: from the individual to the wide sweep of history. The ability to put yourself in another's shoes is the foundation-stone of all morality.

And what is that but an imaginative process? Where do we learn it but in stories?

"In dreams begins responsibility," said W B Yeats. He wasn't kidding."
