Norton Juster Quote

As the cheering continued, Rhyme leaned forward and touched Milo gently on the shoulder. They're cheering for you, she said with a smile. But I could never have done it, he objected, without everyone else's help. That may be true, said Reason gravely, but you had the courage to try; and what you can do is often simply a matter of what you *will* do. That's why, said Azaz, there was one very important thing about your quest that we couldn't discuss until you returned. I remember, said Milo eagerly. Tell me now. It was impossible, said the king, looking at the Mathemagician. Completely impossible, said the Mathemagician, looking at the king. Do you mean---- said the bug, who suddenly felt a bit faint. Yes, indeed, they repeated together; but if we'd told you then, you might not have gone---and, as you've discovered, so many things are possible just as long as you don't know they're impossible. And for the remainder of the ride Milo didn't utter a sound.
