“It is not enough to simply teach children to read;

― Katherine Paterson

“Prince Ronald said, Elizabeth, your hair is all dirty. You are wearing an ugly paper bag. You don't have any shoes on and you smell like a dragon's ear. Come back and rescue me when you're dressed like a real princess.

They didn't get married after all.”
― Robert Munsch
