“It is not by great acts but by small failures that freedom dies. The sense of justice dies slowly in a people.

Justice and liberty die quietly, because men first learnto ignore injustice and then no longer recognize it.”

“As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.”

“All enchantments die; only cowards die with them.”

“I’d always loved the chance to become someone else for a few hours. Someone for whom the words had been written, every gesture and emotion plotted, and the ending figured out. Almost like life. Just without the surprises.”
