There is no story without conflict, I tell would-be story writers.  Universal truth is ratified, in literature as in life, not through a character’s mere mindless affirmations of it but through the lifelong study that comes from doubting and challenging and searching and returning to the problem again and again.

— Patty Kirk, Confessions of an Amateur Believer, p. 73
