"This is what I think is important about stories. We become the stories we are told and the stories we tell ourselves. The important story is our own lifestory. That story isn't independent from the stories dominant society tells us. There is an intermingling of my lifestory and the stories available to me, and the shared stories that structure our society put real limits on the stories I am able to tell myself. But it is through my lifestory that I am able to experience the tremendous power of story. This is where I can make change, and that change can influence the larger stories."
- From The Power of Story: On Truth, the Trickster, and New Fictions for a New Era, pg. 33
