“"Time is the measure of change. Things were, and then they were something else, and the they were not. Nobody could see time passing, and nobody ould see change. One day, we all just woke up and it was there."p.127 "Human beings were narrative animals. They liked stories. Their brains were hardwired o think in stories. Nothing sounded true to them if it didn't fit into a story...It took training and practice to learn to think logically....First they made the stories the most important things, and then they made the people who acted out the stories the most important things, because those people would have to be...Stories were how people defined themselves as well as each other and the world they lived in. Identity was a story. In traditional societies, the stories were myths and legends. In this society the stories were at the movies, and on television, and in music videos, and without those stories the whole damned thing would fall apart."”
