Summary

This quote suggests that fictions, such as stories or narratives, are akin to frozen dreams; they are composed of interconnected images that possess a certain semblance of organization.

It implies that fictions may distort reality, manipulate truth, or conceal ulterior motives. By labeling fictions as untrustworthy, the quote underscores the importance of critically evaluating narratives and acknowledging their inherent subjectivity.

In the things that really matter--our covenants, the command

In the things that really matter--our covenants, the commandments, and following the prophet--we need to be completely united. In the non-essentials, we have our agency to handle things as we see fit.
