The puppet thinks: It’s not so much what they make me do as their hands inside me. - Charles de Lint

While you live … you have a duty to life. … The fey wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them. … Otherwise they fade away.

Let me give you some advice: Try to approach things without preconceived ideas, without supposing you already know everything there is to know about them. Get that trick down and you'll be surprised at what's really all around you.

Remember the quiet wonders. The world has more need of them than it has for warriors.
