«What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim?

But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to the people who don't understand.'»
