“See, this is my opinion: we all start out knowing magic. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God's sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they'd allowed to wither in themselves.”
― Robert McCammon

“It's amazing how change creeps up on you. You can't look into a mirror and decide how much you hair has grown in the last hour. Only when it drapes over your eyes and obstructs your vision do you discover you aren't seeing clearly anymore.”

“Death comes for everyone," she said simply. "I'm not afraid of dying. But I am afraid of dying here." She swept her hand over the room, the tavern, the city. "I'd rather die on an adventure than live standing still.”
― V.E. Schwab, A Darker Shade of Magic

“Tonight isn't about more dark, it's about more nothing.”
