What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind

William Wordsworth / Intimations of Immortality From Recollections of Early Childhood

There's a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same

Johnny Cash / The Man Comes Around

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited; imagination encircles the world.

Albert Einstein

Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.

G.K. Chesterton
