Do you agree with Tolstoy, who said, "The best stories come not from the conflict between good and evil, but from the conflict between good and good."
Nope.
Because I don't believe in good and evil. These are human values, and they depend entirely on where you're standing. (You know who thought he was doing good? Hitler.)
I prefer Hemingway's three story types: man vs. nature, man vs. man, and man vs. self.
