A story-a true story-can heal as much as medicine can.

Summary

This quote implies that a story, particularly one that is based on real events, has the power to bring about healing similar to that of medicine. Just as medicine can alleviate physical ailments and promote well-being, a compelling narrative can offer solace, inspiration, and emotional healing. Stories have the potential to touch us deeply, offering different perspectives, fostering empathy, and providing a sense of connection to others. By sharing personal experiences and truths, stories can heal by allowing individuals to feel understood, validated, and potentially find the strength to overcome their own hardships.

Life is a game in which the rules are constantly changing; nothing spoils a game more than those who take it seriously. Adultery? Phooey!
