I don't know where I'll be then, Rock," he said, "but I'll know about it and I'll be happy." Knute Rockne

traveling is the great true love of my life... I am loyal and constant in my love of travel.

Because it looks exactly like me. Elizabeth Gilbert

The fairy tale, which to this day is the first tutor of children because it was once the first tutor of mankind, secretly lives on in the story. The first true storyteller is, and will continue to be, the teller of fairy tales. Whenever good counsel was at a premium, the fairy tale had it, and where the need was greatest, its aid was nearest. This need was created by myth. The fairy tale tells us of the earliest arrangements that mankind made to shake off the nightmare which myth had placed... Walter Benjamin
