The next day you shrink back to your former height. The reason is that your cartilage discs are squeezed like sponges by the force of gravity when you stand or sit. “The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything. Never show anyone. They'll beg you and they'll flatter you for the secret, but as soon as you give it up...you'll be nothing to them.” - Alfred Borden, The Prestige "Once is a trick, twice is a lesson." - Ben Fetzer “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." - Socrates "All we are is dust in the wind, dude." - Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure “We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.” - Aesop "You were gone seven years. Seven years | waited, hoping that you wouldn't come back. Every year, I took a holiday. I went to Florence, there's this cafe, on the banks of the Arno. Every fine evening, I'd sit there and order a Fernet Branca. I had this fantasy, that | would look across the tables and I'd see you there, with a wife and maybe a couple of kids. You wouldn't say anything to me, nor me to you. But we'd both know that you'd made it, that you were happy. I never wanted you to come back to Gotham. | always knew there was nothing here for you, except pain and tragedy. And I wanted something more for you than that. I still do." - Alfred Pennyworth, The Dark Knight Rises EFTA00402036
