Once upon a time [Season 1, Episode 17]

You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution for their problem. And everyone refuses to believe a magic.

— Stories. Stories? What's a story? When you were in high school, did you learn about the civil war?
— Yeah, of course.
— How? Did you read about it, perchance, in a book? How is that any less real than any other book?
— History books are based on history.
— And storybooks are based on what, imagination? Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere.

What's crazier than seeing and not believing?

How arrogant are you to think yours is the only one? There are infinite more. You have to open your mind. They touch one another, pressing up in a long line of lands, each just as real as the last. All have their own rules. Some have magic. Some don't. And some need magic... Like this one.

It's hard enough to live in a land where you don't belong, but knowing it, holding conflicting realities in your head will drive you mad.

There's nothing more important than family.

I'd rather lose my job than my friend.
