Quotes by Talia Franks (?)

“Magic is more than a tool
More than a weapon to wield
Magic is in the soul, in the heart
Not just the sword and the shield.”

“As fans continue to gather both on- and offline, it’s important for us to remember what brings us together — the evolving and shifting story, where there is something for everyone to love and which we love in our own ways.”

“The show is meant to encompass the universe and has infinite potential, so why should it be focused around representing only certain kinds of people? The show has made increasing efforts towards diversity and inclusion and making fans feel seen, but so much work is yet to be done.”

“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
