Quote by Derek Landy

“He could be a butterfly dreaming he's a man." "Well, he's not. He's a big fat man dreaming he's a big fat butterfly. What the hell am I supposed to do?" There was another hesitation. "I'm not sure. You don't happen to have a large net handy, do you?" "I want to hit him. I want to hit YOU, but I also want to hit him.”

“Right and wrong are determined by the people who hold positions of authority, that's the way it has always been so how then can anyone know this truth you speak of?
