“In order to measure a person's worth you must do more than push them. The real way to test their worth is to give them power. When they gain the freedom to act outside the boundaries of law and ethics you can sometimes see their souls.”
― Makishima Shougo

“To Know, To Will, To Dare, and To Be Silent, these are the four tools of the Magician.”
― The Golden Dawn

“What have I done? The adulation of my peers below has been a waste of hours. Could I recall the moments I have carelessly cast away, I could but hope to spend them in a wiser way, and warm myself in light that rivals light of day.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

“Then I saw a wan face
Not pinned by human sorrows, but bright blanched
By an immortal sickness which kills not;
It works a constant change, which happy death
Can put no end to; deathwards progressing
To no death was that visage; it had passed
The lily and the snow; and beyond these”
― Dan Simmons, Hyperion
