Confusing a satisfying story with a meaningful one

“To be human is to confuse a satisfying story with a meaningful one, and to mistake life for something huge with two legs. No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people.” | Richard Powers, The Overstory

Poignant and powerful.
