    Lyndsay Faye
    “I hope that the epitaph of the human race when the world ends will be: Here perished a species which lived to tell stories.

    We tell stories to strangers to ingratiate ourselves, stories to lovers to better adhere us skin to skin, stories in our heads to banish the demons. When we tell truth, often we are callous; when we tell lies, often we are kind. Through it all, we tell stories, and we own an uncanny knack for the task.”
