"There’s the story, then there’s the real story, then there’s the story of how the story came to be..."

“There’s the story, then there’s the real story, then there’s the story of how the story came to be told. Then there’s what you leave out of the story. Which is part of the story too.”

Margaret Atwood, MaddAddam (via quotespile)

…  e queste storie sono concatenate l’una con l’altra proprio come le mille notti arabe di Sheherazade
