“Because, it would have been cheating, in a way. You don't get to freeze the picture when you want it. It would have been living in the past and eventually, you just start doing the same jokes over and over again.”
― Morgan Matson, Save the Date

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“روايت‌هاي تحول شخصيت سرگذشت آدمياني است كه چيزي آن‌ها را وا‌مي‌دارد، از جهاني كه در آن مي‌زيند، دل ‌بكنند و راه جهاني ديگر را پيش‌ گيرند. از اين منظر، سفر اين شخصيت‌ها همانند سفر قهرمان اسطوره‌اي است كه پس از پذيرفتن دعوت از پيك بشارت، راهي سرزمين ناشناخته مي‌شود و در اين راه به ياري بركت‌ها و طلسم‌هايي كه پيك و ياري‌دهندگان همراه او كرده‌‌اند،‌ از آزمون‌ها و مانع‌ها مي‌گذرد و به ناشناخته (عالم غيب) مي‌پيوندد.
