Kindle Notes & Highlights
‘No,’ he said aloud in the stillness of the attic. ‘Atreyu wouldn’t give up just because things were getting a little rough. What I’ve started I must finish. I’ve gone too far to turn back. Regardless of what may happen, I have to go forward.’ He felt very lonely, yet there was a kind of pride in his loneliness. He was proud of standing firm in the face of temptation. He was a little like Atreyu after all.
Atreyu is on a quest to save his Empress and his world. Bastian wants to finish reading a stolen book. These two things are not the same.
When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts.
