"...if you have never spent whole afternoons forgetting the world around you over a book, forgetting cold and hunger-- if you have never wept bitter tears because a wonderful story has come to an end and you must take your leave of the characters with whom you have shared so many adventures, whom you have loved and admired, for whom you have hoped and feared, and without whose company life seems empty and meaningless-- you probably won't understand what Bastian did next."
-- Michael Ende, Neverending Story

There are some things we should always remember.... and some things we should never, ever forget.
