“Ich denke, komme zu einem Ergebnis, halte das Ergebnis in einer Entscheidung fest und erfahre, dass das Handeln eine Sache für sich ist und der Entscheidung folgen kann, aber nicht folgen muss. Oft genug habe ich im Lauf meines Lebens getan, wofür ich micht nicht entschieden hatte, und nicht getan, wofür ich mich entschieden hatte. Es, was immer es sein mag, handelt. [...] Ich meine nicht, dass Denken und entscheiden keinen Einfluss auf das Handeln hätten. Aber das Handlen vollzieht nicht einfach, was davor gedacht und entschieden wurde. Es hat seine eigene Quelle und ist auf ebenso eigenständige Weise mein Handeln, wie mein Denken mein Denken ist und mein Entscheiden mein Entscheiden.”

“It would have been better to come back at the same hour,” said the fox. “If, for example, you came at four o’clock in the afternoon, then at three o’clock I shall begin to be happy. I shall feel happier and happier as the hour advances. At four o’clock, I shall already be worrying and jumping about. I shall show you how happy I am! But if you come at just any time, I shall never know at what hour my heart is to be ready to greet you . . . One must observe the proper rites . . .”

“The old man’s eyes sparked. “Elan of Ember, you I know, take me to your King.” He paused. “Now!” The old man spoke like a crack of thunder and red lightning flashed from his open hand. The portal gate beside Elan flashed with fire and disappeared. Without thought, Elan’s sword flew to his hand as he made towards the traveller. But again the red fire flashed. The sword glowed and like the gate, it was consumed by the fire. Elan collapsed, clutching the burnt fragments of his sword in his injured hand. “Take him to the King,” he grunted in pain. The guards did so without delay.”
