“Witches are naturally nosy,â€� said Miss Tick, standing up. “Well, I must go. I hope we shall meet again. I will give you some free advice, though.â€�
“Will it cost me anything?�
“What? I just said it was free!� said Miss Tick.
“Yes, but my father said that free advice often turns out to be expensive,� said Tiffany.
Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,� she said, “Are you listening?�
“Yes,� said Tiffany.
“Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...�
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
�...and believe in your dreams...�
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
�...and follow your star...� Miss Tick went on.
â€Ô¨±ð²õ?â€�
â€�...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.”

“My particular dread--the vivid possibility that left me staring at tree shadows on the bedroom ceiling night after night--was having to lie in a small tent, alone in an inky wilderness, listening to a foraging bear outside and wondering what its intentions were. I was especially riveted by an amateur photograph in Herrero's book, taken late at night by a camper with a flash at a campground out West. The photograph caught four black bears as they puzzled over a suspended food bag. The bears were clearly startled but not remotely alarmed by the flash. It was not the size or demeanor of the bears that troubled me--they looked almost comically nonaggressive, like four guys who had gotten a Frisbee caught up a tree--but their numbers. Up to that moment it had not occurred to me that bears might prowl in parties. What on earth would I do if four bears came into my camp? Why, I would die, of course. Literally shit myself lifeless. I would blow my sphincter out my backside like one of those unrolling paper streamers you get at children's parties--I daresay it would even give a merry toot--and bleed to a messy death in my sleeping bag.”

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”
