Leavening the flat bread of what we know, with the yeast of what we dream may come to pass.

I've always thought that the most extraordinary special effect you could do is to buy a child at the moment of its birth, sit it on a little chair and say, "You'll have three score years and ten," and take a photograph every minute.
