“It was once a commonly-held belief that dragons were nothing more than creatures pocketed into the realm of myth and fairytale. But man also once believed the Earth to be flat, and that we sat with prim and unswerving confidence at the center of the universe. Now it is merely man himself who believes himself to be seated at the center of everything.”

“But magic could make the world better,” Nicholas tried.
“No, it couldn’t,” said Maram, her voice sharp. “Your uncle understands this. You need to understand it, also. That is whywe keep commissions small and personal, why you will never write for governments or corporations or leaders of political rebellions,no matter how intriguing their cause or how much money they offer. We are not here to change the world with these books, Nicholas.Part of the reason we collect them is to keep them from the world, because the world misuses power and the Library participated in that misuse for centuries. Do you see what I amsaying?”

“Sidion postupně z první ruky zjišťoval, že převraty, rebelie a útěky od tyranských vládců nejsou tak epické, hrdinské a především bezproblémové, jako se všem snaží namluvit dávné příběhy a písně. V nich je všechno – od úspěchu přes protivenství až po vyložený nezdar – romantizované a přehnaně glorifikované. Nikdo vám neřekne, že když se poperete se všemi možnými překážkami a vyjdete z toho víceméně vítězně, selže lidský – nebo chcete-li dé-monský – faktor na vaší straně.”

“Sáhla jsem si do jejich svědomí, však to včas poznaj! A čím dřív to poznaj, tím dřív se tenhle svět snad zas usmíří. Je plný sebestředných, mocichtivých bláznů, co žijou jen ve své omezenosti, kterou považujou za jedinečnost, ale o ohromnosti a rozmanitosti světa kolem nevědí nic. Na všechno nasazují svoje představy a nechtěj dovolit, aby něco fungovalo jinak. A to je jeden jak druhej. Všichni jsou stejní.”
