The Storyteller's Creed

The Storyteller's Creed

I believe that Imagination is stronger than than Knowledge
That Myth is more potent than History
That Dreams are more powerful than Facts
That Hope always triumphs over Experience
That Laughter is the only cure for Grief
And I believe that Love is stronger than Death

     I love this and most writers are probably familiar with it. I have it framed and hanging next to my desk. I always feel it should have another line saying, "Good always wins over Evil". I know that is not true in life or even in fiction, but when I think about storytelling, the good over evil thing feels important to me.
     I wonder what other writers think. What do you think about the Creed? What ideas or lines would you add? Are there any you would change or omit?
