"Day after day we seek an answer to the ageless question Aristotle posed in Ethics: How should a human being lead his life? [...] Traditionally humankind has sought the answer [...] from the four wisdoms - philosophy, science, religion, art - taking insight form each to bolt together a livable meaning. But today who reads Hegel or Kant without an exam to pass? Science, once the great explicator, garbles life with complexity and perplexity. Who can listen without cynicism to economists, sociologists, politicians? Religion, for many, has become an empty ritual that masks hypocrisy. As our faith in traditional ideologies diminishes, we turn to the source we still believe in: the art of story."
Robert McKee
