Favorite Quotes:
"Ninjas. I hate them. They're everywhere."
-The Tick, "The Naked City"
"In nature, there's no blemish but the mind;/None can be called deformed, but the unkind./Virtue is beauty; but the beauteous evil/Are empty trunks o'er-flourished by the devil."
-Antonio, "Twelfth Night"
“The best moments in reading are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.”
-Hector, "The History Boys"
