These Amazing Shadows

I watched a few documentaries about films and film making last night. One of them was These Amazing Shadows. It was about finding and preserving films in the Library of Congress. One of the interviewees quoted the literal "Librarian" of the Library of Congress, James H. Billington, who said in his own interview after 20 years of service on June 30, 2007, this amazing pontification:

"Stories unite people. Theories divide them."

I see why my daughter wants to write stories.
