"You jumped, of course," explained Canby. That's the way most everyone gets here. It's really quite simple: every time you decide something without having a good reason, you jump to Conclusions whether you like it or not. It's such an easy trip to make that I've been here hundreds of times."
"But this is such an unpleasant-looking place," Milo remarked.
"Yes, that's true," admitted Canby; "it does look much better from a distance."

But not exactly too. He said many things after that which I liked but it's super long and I cant find it on the Internet ! But anyhows, it brings to mind what Derrick wrote about being the 'hero' of one's own 10 years old self. Nice.
Oh and watch this :D
Awesome. Southwest Airlines.
Would love to be on the same plane as him !
