I don't get it. I'd pick magic over Sam any day.
"The first time I saw you, I recognized you. I knew you were just like me. But you didn't know what you were, what you could be. I thought if I showed... Perhaps I pushed you too hard. I wanted it for you more than you wanted it for yourself. That was my mistake. To put so much faith in someone who has none."
"And now you want to go back to being ordinary." -Sophie

"It's best not to be too specific with wishes, otherwise you end up getting what you think you want, instead of what you need. How dangerous."

Well, it took almost the entire book, but she finally realized that Sam wasn't worth her time. Better late than never.
"I wonder how much of a woman's life is spent this way. Enduring, waiting for enjoyment or fuck it, death."
Sad but unfortunately accurate

I knew Sophie knew who the ghosts were, but I think they had it coming.
"I have only ever defended myself. I'm otherwise perfectly pleasant."
Sounds reasonable to me. They did try to drown her after all.

Ok, huge Ralph is definitely less cute. And WHY would she hide where the ghosts are???

"What is it about a woman in full control of herself that is so utterly frightening?"

"Or maybe it's that I live alone in the woods. And what's more damming? That I live in the seclusion of the trees, or that I live alone? Or that I'm happy about it all? That I've made these choices, that I have these gifts and I embrace them? I'm not ashamed of who I am."
Annie really should be more like her & stop seeking validation outside herself.

"Why do you fear me? I've never understood peoples fear. What about me is so terrifying?"
"I don't smile when I don't feel like smiling. I don't pretend. I'm entirely honest about who I am. Is that my great offense?"

I noticed Sam didn't say he & Shannon broke up when she asked about her, which means he's still with her while he figures out which one of them he wants to be with. I wish she'd get over him. He's a jerk & she needs to work on herself.
