Stories: critical in making sense of our lives

We are all generating, perceiving, learning from and living via narrative all the time.

'As we face each other in omnibuses and underground railways we are looking into the mirror... And the novelists in future will realize more and more the importance of these reflections, for of course there us not one reflection but an almost infinite number; those are the depths they will explore, those are the phantoms they will persue.' - Virgina Woolf vis Montaigne
