“Changing the story isn’t enough in itself, but has often been foundational to real change. Making an injury visible and public is usually the first step in remedying it, and political change often follows culture, as what was long tolerated is seen to be intolerable, or what was overlooked becomes obvious.” Rebecca Solnit
“Stories are the secret reservoir of values… change the stories individuals and nations live by and tell themselves, and we change the individuals and the nations. If they tell themselves stories that are lies they will suffer the future consequences. If they tell themselves stories that face their own truths they will free their histories for future flowering.” Ben Okri
