In reading a novel, any novel, we have to know perfectly well that the whole thing is nonsense, and then, while reading, believe every word of it. Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

He knew he should have counted. It was the rule to count to ten in his head before he opened his mouth.

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta
