"It’s rare a man is taken for what he truly is. There is much misjudgement in the world. Now I knew you for a unicorn when I first saw you, and I know that I am your friend. Yet you take me for a clown, or a clod, or a betrayer, and so must I be if you see me so. The magic on you is only magic and will vanish as soon as you are free. But the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes. We are not always what we seem and hardly ever what we dream."
The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle
