Taylor SwiftIn fantasy stories we learn to understand the differences of others, we learn compassion for those things we cannot fathom, we learn the importance of keeping our sense of wonder. The strange worlds that exist in the pages of fantastic literature teach us a tolerance of other people and places and engender an openness toward new experience. Fantasy puts the world into perspective in a way that 'realistic' literature rarely does. It is not so much an escape from the here-and-now as an expansion of each reader's horizons.

J. M. CoetzeeAfter that, all the while Millie was eating the pudding... we both tore Christopher's character to shreds. It was wonderful fun.... He drove everyone mad in Chrestomanci Castle by insisting on silk shirts and exactly the right kind of pajamas. 'And he could get them right anyway by magic,' Millie told me, 'if he wasn't too lazy to learn how.... But the thing that really annoys me is the way he never bothers to learn a person's name. If a person isn't important to him, he always forgets their name.' When Millie said this, I realized that Christopher had never once forgotten my name.
Diana Wynne JonesWe're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so.

I started to learn to get a focus, without having to jump up and down every few seconds.
Iggy PopI see myself as a student. I would never call myself a master or a maestro.

I'm not going for grades; I'm going for an education. I'm going to continue experimenting and trying new things to try to evolve and learn.

It's been quite a magical journey for me to learn to be kinder in my dealing[s] with other people.

Maybe God will give each of us a chance to meet people who we've wronged and straighten things out and tell them we're sorry.
