"The way I see it, however unlikely a thing is – however much you might think this can't possibly happen – once it has happened, it stops being
impossible.
And unlikely things, well; they happen all the time."

"We do as we’ve always done, it’s the world outside that makes us look radical. I know this village doesn't seem like much to you, but there's nowhere else like it."
