“They fight a war and they don't know what for. Isn't that crazy? How can one man kill another and not really know the reason why he does it, except that the other man wears a different color uniform and speaks a different language?”
― Michael Morpurgo, War Horse

“The whole world is a series of miracles, but we're so used to them we call them ordinary things.”
― Hans Christian Andersen

“Don't underestimate the power of events that happened a long time ago. That is the tragic flaw of modern man.”
― Anne Fortier, Juliet

“A certain kind of magic is born when the curtain rises. Intoxicated by the smell of the greasepaint and powered by the glow of the footlights, lovers successfully elope, villains get their just deserts and people die in epic stunts and yet live to tell the tale. Thousands pay to sit and be fooled by illusions and still jump to their feet to applaud despite their gullibility. It's an inexplicable, delicious, addictive power that keeps people entranced and coming back for more, again and again.”
― Carrie Hope Fletcher, When the Curtain Falls
