    “It does make a big difference, it is why Robin Hood lives,
    crime if you know the reason if you know the motive
    if you can understand the character if it is not a
    normal one is not interesting a crime in itself is
    not interesting it is only there and when it is there
    everybody has to take notice of it. It is important
    in that way but in every other way it is not

    “To the young mind, every thing is individual, stands by itself. By and by, it finds how to join two things, and see in them one nature; then three, then three thousand; and so, tyrannized over by its own unifying instinct, it goes on tying things together, diminishing anomalies, discovering roots running underground, whereby contrary and remote things cohere, and flower out from one stem.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
