"Everything is a tale, Martin. What we believe,……" — Carlos Ruiz Zafon
"Everything is a tale, Martin. What we believe, what we know, what we remember, even what we dream. Everything is a story, a narrative, a sequence of events with characters communicating an emotional content. We only accept as true what can be narrated."
