Stefan MolyneuxHow laudable it is for a prince to keep good faith and live with integrity, and not with astuteness, every one knows.

You could argue that it's a form of misguided loyalty.

The task is not to change personality, but to enable a person to achieve and to perform.

Ernie BanksThe cry that 'fantasy is escapist' compared to the novel is only an echo of the older cry that novels are 'escapist' compared with biography, and to both cries one should make the same answer: that freedom to invent outweighs loyalty to mere happenstance, the accidents of history; and good readers should know how to filter a general applicability from a particular story.
