If I were useful, you wouldn't know it was me.

I believe in deeds, not words.

Why do I get the feeling that if you give me a hard time, I'll tell all of our year-mates your family nickname is Meathead?

I come from a dysfunctional family, so my views of parents and parenting used to be highly mixed.

You mortals are like fish swimming in a globe of glass. That globe is your world. You do not see beyond it.

You are the Protector of the Small. You see real people in the humans and animals overlooked by your peers. There will always be work for you.

Alan, you seem to think we won't like you unless you do things just like everyone else. Have you ever thought we might like you because you're different?
