There are two types of people in this world: those who stop for a stranger on the side of the road and those who keep on driving.
“We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream.”

“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.”

“The painful things seemed like knots on a beautiful necklace, necessary for keeping the beads in place.”

“Real magic can never be made by offering someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back.”

“The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things. The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch's door when she is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.”
