“This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!”
― John Cleese

“Bad is so bad, that we cannot but think good an accident; good is so good, that we feel certain that evil could be explained.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“I knew when I met you an adventure was going to happen.”
― A.A. Milne

“But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while they still endure for eyes to see, are ever their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
