“There's magic in that. It's in the listener, and for each and every ear it will be different, and it will affect them in ways they can never predict. From the mundane to the profound.

That tale will move them and drive them and who knows what they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“What wise God would consign a man to Hell for ignorance, instead of teaching him better in the afterlife?”
― Marion Zimmer Bradley, The Mists of Avalon
