“Consider this - when you ask a child to draw you a picture, or tell you a story, they never refuse because they 'aren't creative.'

And its a tragedy - when we can't create purely for the joy it brings us. Don't be afraid to play, Fionn. It's good for the soul.”

“All words are not equal (and as I write this, I think I see your concern more clearly: if the word of one group are considered worthier of preservation than those of another...well, you have given me pause for thought.)”
