Quotes from the Book

Wizard's Fourth Rule There is magic in sincere forgiveness; in the forgiveness you give, but more so in the forgiveness you receive.
Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent does not absolve the guilt.

Keep your vision all-inclusive, never allowing it to lock on any one thing...look everywhere at once, see nothing to the exclusion of all else---don't allow the enemy to direct your vision, or you will see what he wishes you to see. He will then come at you as you become bewildered, looking for his attack, and you will lose. Instead, your vision must open to all there is, never settling, even when cutting. Know your enemy's moves by instinct, not waiting to see them. To dance with death meant to know the enemy's sword and its speed without waiting to see it. Dancing with death meant being one with the enemy, without looking fixedly, so that you could kill him. Dancing with death meant being committed to killing, committed with your heart and soul.

We all make mistakes. The people who love us forgive the mistakes. The people who won't forgive don't really matter

If you regain your senses, come see me, I will teach you how.” - Cara
The time for desperation is upon us. Let’s play.” - Zedd
There is more to being in love than just jumping into bed, you know. Like just being close, in one another's arms.
