“When a day passes, it is no longer there. What remains of it? Nothing more than a story. If stories weren't told or books weren't written, man would live like the beasts, only for the day. The whole world, all human life, is one long story.”
― Isaac Bashevis Singer, Naftali the Storyteller and His Horse, Sus and Other Stories
