I’m not trying to shame people who don’t read The Classics because god knows most of that stuff never saw an editor, but before you post/reblog quotes from the old book classics, framed as something the author personally said, you should be aware that the quote was probably said or thought by a character who wasn’t supposed to be objectively correct. As a matter of fact a lot of those fictional little guys were written to be completely wrong on purpose.

Merlin (847): *crosses arms* protecting Arthur comes with a cost. What I don’t get…. Is THIS!!!!
