“I had forgotten that you are only a common boy. How should you understand reasons of the State? You must learn, child, that what would be wrong for you or for any of the common people is not wrong in a great Queen such as I. The weight of the world is on our shoulders. We must be freed from all rules. Ours is a high and lonely destiny.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.”
― John Ruskin, The Two Paths
