If the storytellers told it true, all stories would end in death.

About This Quote

The thing about stories is that they are only true in the sense that they are being told. Once they are told, they are no longer true. If all stories were true, there would be no reason to ever tell another story. So, the only stories that are true are the ones that have no end in sight.
