“I don't like knowing people in the context of things. "Oh that's the person I work with" "That's the person I'm in a book club with" "That's the person I did that show with" Because once the context ends, so did the friendship.
I yearn to know people I love deeply and intimately -without context, without boxes- and I yearn for them to know me that way, too. And as much as I think I know Miranda deeply and intimately, I don't like that I know her trough the context of iCarly, because iCarly is ending, and I don't want our friendship to end with it.”

“But I can't kill anyone,' said Jonathan, 'you know that Orvar!' 'Not even if it means your life?' asked Orvar. 'No, not even then,' said Jonathan. Orvar couldn't understand this and Mattias hardly could, either. 'If everyone were like you,' said Orvar, 'then evil would rule for all eternity!' But then I said that if everyone were like Jonathan, then there would be no evil.”
― Astrid Lindgren, The Brothers Lionheart
