About This Quote

A definition of knowledge is the ability to make correct decisions. If you know something, you know it for sure. You can’t change your mind once you’ve made up your mind. But stories are different.

When you hear a story, you don’t always know for sure what happened. A fact is just one side of the story. And that’s how most people think about knowledge and wisdom.

Facts are only half of the truth; stories are both sides.
