“”Just because the Bible says “Jesus is the Lamb of God,” it doesn’t follow that Mary had a little lamb.”

“…The classical mind says, that’s only a story, but the modern mind says, there’s only story.”

: “The ultimate limit is that human beings cannot get outside of story; we can get outside of particular stories, or particular forms of stories, but not outside of story as such. The world in which we live is a narrative world, created by and in our stories.”
