A storyteller makes up things to help other people; a liar makes up things to help himself.

If a storyteller worried about the facts - my dear Lucian, how could he ever get at the truth?

Throughout our lives we will meet individuals who benefit from the assistance of others yet are resentful of receiving another person’s goodwill.

You’re such a great liar when you lie to yourself.

The store of fairy tales, that blue chamber where stories lie waiting to be rediscovered, holds out the promise of just those creative enchantments, not only for its own characters caught in its own plotlines; it offers magical metamorphoses to the one who opens the door, who passes on what was found there, and to those who hear what the storyteller brings. The faculty of wonder, like curiosity can make things happen; it is time for wishful thinking to have its due.

It's not enough to have lived.
We should be determined to live for something.
May I suggest that it be creating joy for others,
sharing what we have for the betterment of personkind,
bringing hope to the lost and love to the lonely.
