Some stories are true that never happened.
Corporeal death is not the whole story.
Duality is not a story. Duality is just a complexity.
Life is but a story told at one's funeral
The stories are not made, they are discovered.
Stories, A Portal to Anywhere but Here.
Photography must be integrated with the story.
I like it when stories are left open.
In the end, this volume should be read a s a collection of love stories, Above all, they are tales of love, not the love with which so many stories end – the love of fidelity, kindness and fertility – but the other side of love, its cruelty, ster...
The truth is that good fantasies carefully limit the magic that's possible. In fact, the magic has to be defined, at least in the author's mind, as a whole new set of natural laws that cannot be violated during the course of the story. That is, if at...
