""The characters just keep acting like they've read the back cover of the book. They seem to know they're in a rapture story.""

""Haven't you ever been in a fairy tale before? The hero has to make a prophecy come true, and the villain is the one who has to stop him-- though in another kind of story, it's more often the other way around.

- Schmendrick the Magician, The Last Unicorn
