After my alarm clocks, what I love most are my dictionaries. Their words tell me stories better than novels. No, not stories, they tell me the meaning of things.

Fairy (1)
You know nothing about humans. They know they'll die, but they don't worry about it. And waste their time.
**Fairy (2 & 3)
**No? They waste time?
**Fairy (1)
**But of course! It's their favourite pastime.

**Anastasia
**I longed for the spell to work and change my life! Because a little girl's life is really boring.

**Anastasia
**What's happened to you?
**Peter
**I don't know. Maybe... Nothing's constant in life... except for boredom. Boredom. It has me caged, it's like being held in a vise.
*
**Anastasia
**Weren't we happy?
**Peter
**Yes! But now I'm no longer happy! I want to live. What you call happiness, keeps me from living.
