&quot;It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

Why, sometimes I&#039;ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.&quot;<br /> (Through the Looking Glass, Chapter 5)

&quot;I feel that a hero is somebody who will stand up for their values and what they believe in and that can take any form. People that have values and have thought them through rather than those who just do what they&rsquo;re told.&quot;-Skandar Keynes<br /> <br /> &quot;When it&rsquo;
