Like legend and myth, magic fades when it is unused.

Witchery is merely a word for what we are all capable of.

It's all a matter of paying attention, being awake in the present moment, and not expecting a huge payoff. The magic in this world seems to work in whispers and small kindnesses.

It's all those stories and how they braid together that tells us who and what and where we are

You've got to find yourself first. Everything else'll follow.

Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.

Fortune-telling doesn't reveal the future; it mirrors the present. It resonates against what your subconscious already knows and hauls it up out of the darkness so you can get a good look at it.

I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.

Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

Magic lies in between things, between the day and the night, between yellow and blue, between any two things.

While the world changes, the cross stands firm.

You tell a soul or even God Hisself what you seen when the rougarou changes, or even that you met one, and a year ain’t passed, you’re liable to change to one yourself.

A man to whom you do a favor will not understand if you say nothing, make no noise, just walk away. You may cause more trouble by refusing a bribe than by accepting it.

You are a little soul carrying around a corpse.

Mass movements do not usually rise until the prevailing order has been discredited.

Grandfather / advised me: / Learn a trade / I learned / to sit at desk / and condense / No layoff / from this / condensery.

Don't cry out loud, keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings. Fly high and proud, and if you should fall, remember you almost had it all.

Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.

Society does not love its unmaskers.

Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.
