The great sin of most of the stories of popular culture—in film, television, novels, and the like—is not that they are violent or obscene or godless, but that they waste our time. Since I can hear only so many stories in my life, why settle for anything less than the best ones?
-Daniel Taylor, "In Praise of Stories," The Christian Imagination, ed. Leland Ryken, 417.
