“Užasavaju me slike koje deluju kao da su odštampane, koje su lišene onog dragocenog milimetra treće dimenzije. I knjige bi bile zanimljivije kada ih ne bismo prekucavali i doterivali, kad bismo na njima mogli da vidimo mrlje mastila, ispravke, duge crne linije povučene preko slova, znakove uzvika i opasnosti, fusnote.”

“Elric knew that everything that existed had its opposite. In danger he might find peace. And yet, of course, in peace there was danger. Being an imperfect creature in an imperfect world he would always know paradox. And that was why in paradox there was always a kind of truth. That was why philosophers and soothsayers flourished. In a perfect world there would be no place for them. In an imperfect world the mysteries were always without solution and that was why there was always a great choice of solutions.”
