"Every once in a while, I sit down with myself asking: "Once-ler, why are you a Once-ler?" And I cringe, I don't smile, as I sit there on trial asking: "Aren't you ashamed, you old Once-ler? You ought to be locked in a hoosegow, you should! The things that you do are completely un-good!" Yeah? But if I didn't do them, then someone else WOULD! "That's a very good point, Mr. Once-ler." Progress is progress, and progress must grow!"
