“Serce jest więcej warte, niźli całe złoto świata.”
“...Each secret you carry has a weight all its own. They add up, secrets, to a burden you must carry all your days.”
“Cuando te ataquen con magia, corre, reza o arroja piedras; muchos magos no son más que un fraude, y puedes salir airoso aun cuando tu corazón tiemble. O bien puedes permanecer tranquilo y murmurar cualquier cosa mientras mueves fluidamente tus manos. Algunos practicantes del arte son tan cobardes que pueden salir huyendo ante esto. Y, en cuanto a los otros, al menos, cuando los hombres hablen de tu muerte días más tarde, dirán: "Nunca supe que fuese un mago; lo mantuvo en secreto todos estos años. Debe de haber sido un tipo inteligente". Desde luego, algunos no estarán de acuerdo con esto.”
“Life has no meaning but what we give it. I wish a few more of ye would give it a little.”
“There are only two precious things on earth: the first is love; the second, a long way behind it, is intelligence.”
