About This Quote
One of the most vital aspects of stories is that they allow us to escape the reality of our own lives. The best stories show us how good things can happen to bad people. They show us how we can overcome our worst fears, and they give us hope for a happy ending. In this sense, the best stories are entertaining and inspiring.
But, these are not their only uses. Stories also exist to remind us of what is right in the world and to keep people from becoming complacent.
