The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that.

Expect everything, I always say, and the unexpected never happens.

What's supposed to happen, at the end of a quest? Cheers and accolades, Josh knew; people throw their hats in the air, and you glow with pride as they lift you to their shoulders. What else? Medals, speeches and a great feast, and then a ballad about your exploits, and finally, as the fireworks go off overhead, a soft, clean, fresh bed.

Funny how "question" contains the word "quest" inside it, as though any small question asked is a journey through briars.

You must never feel badly about making mistakes ... as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons.

...I'll continue to see things as a child. It's not so far to fall.
