Quote by Shaun Tan

“So you want to hear a story? Well, I used to know a whole lot of pretty interesting ones. Some of them so funny you'd laugh yourself unconscious, others so terrible you'd never want to repeat them. But I can't remember any of those. So I'll just tell you about the time I found that lost thing.”

It's about making sacrifices for the good of others - even when there's not going to be anyone telling you what a hero you are.”
