"Human beings have always told their histories and truths through parable and fable. We are inveterate storytellers."

Now shall I become a common tale, A ruin'd fragment of a worn-out world; Unchanging record of unceasing change. Eternal landmark to the tide of time. Swift generations, that forget each other, Shall still keep up the memory of my shame Till I am grown an unbelieved fable.

— Hartley Coleridge
