“Stories may well be lies, but they are good lies that say true things, and which can sometimes pay the rent.”

Neil Gaiman

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, stories might not be entirely true, but they often reveal important truths about life, people, and emotions. Imagine a movie about a hero who overcomes great difficulties to achieve something important. The hero might be fictional, but the message about perseverance and courage is real and meaningful. In this way, stories, though made up, can teach us lessons and help us understand the world better. Also, for some people, creating or telling stories can be a way to earn a living, like authors or filmmakers. Their invented tales can entertain others and provide valuable insights while also allowing them to make money.
