"I know that you are wise. When you hear a true story, there is a part of you that responds to it regardless of art, regardless of evidence. You believe that the story is true, because you responded to it from that sense of truth deep within you. But that sense of truth does not respond to a story's factuality...[rather] to a story's causality - whether it faithfully shows the way the universe functions."
