You can become a Jedi Knight at the same place that I became a minister, they'll send you a certificate for like ten bucks. That's how Conan O'brien became a Jedi Knight.

Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.
A goldfish! My mum likes to embarrass me with the story of how I told my school teacher that I wanted to be a fish and sit on her desk in a glass bowl so I could still learn to read and write. These days, I just want to be a pony...

I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.

I think the strangest was probably 'Mrs Doctor Daniel Jackson.' I didn't quite get the 'fictional character' thing. I wanted to marry him and go around the world discovering artifacts a la Indiana Jones.
