"The thing to remember when you're writing is, it's not whether or not what you put on paper is true. It's whether it wakes a truth in your reader. I don't care what literary devices you might use, or belief systems you tap into -- if you can make a story true for a reader, if you can give them a glimpse into another way of seeing the world, or another way that they can cope with their problems, then that story is a success."

from Charles de Lint's The Blue Girl
