I never base characters on real people - you can get into so much trouble that way!
Michael Scott
Great change always comes down to the actions of a single person.
Michael Scott
Marethyu stretched out his right hand and Aten took it in his. Let me tell you this, the hook-handed man said. We will meet again,you and I,in a different place and a different time. You know this to be true? I do. Because you have seen the future? Because I have been there.
Michael Scott
