“Why should your Majesty expect it? My own plans are made. While I can, I sail east in the Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I paddle east in my coracle. When she sinks, I shall swim east with my four paws. And when I can swim no longer, if I have not reached Aslan’s country, or shot over the edge of the world in some vast cataract, I shall sink with my nose to the sunrise and Peepiceek will be head of the talking mice in Narnia.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

― Roald Dahl

“Do not give way to useless alarm; though it is right to be prepared for the worst, there is no occasion to look on it as certain.”
