The Storyteller’s Creed:
I believe that imagination
is stronger than knowledge,
That myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts,
hope always triumphs over experience,
laughter is the only cure for grief,
and I believe that love is
stronger than death.
Robert Fulghum

is stronger than knowledge,
That myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts,
hope always triumphs over experience,
laughter is the only cure for grief,
and I believe that love is
stronger than death.
