"If you look at a thing nine hundred and ninety-nine times, you are perfectly safe; if you look at it the thousandth time, you are in frightful danger of seeing it for the first time." -G.K. Chesterton

Quote

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
