“You must draw from that strength. You must increase it. And you must hold on to it because sometimes that small glimmer of inner strength is all that we have to help us press forward through the darkness.”

“So my happiness that you're safe is more powerful than any anger. Love is stronger than anger. Love is stronger than hate--stronger than anything. Remember that.”

“Then his heart, now broken into a thousand pieces, slowly began to turn to ice.”

“Magic will find those with pure hearts, even when all seems lost.”

“Hate is such a strong emotion. Much more powerful than indifference. But those who burn with hate can also love just as intensely. Can't they? When you hate--or love--do you do so with all your heart? So much that it feels as if you might die from it?”

“Those who appeared to be victims were always the easiest to victimize.”

“But perhaps a heart takes experience and time to harden.”

“You must continue to believe with all your heart. Sometimes belief is all if takes to make something real.”

“I have stories. But stories are not facts.''I like stories. Love them, actually. Most of the time they're better than facts.”

“The truth is only dangerous if it can inflict injury.”

“That which one fears, one typically won't embrace with open arms.”

“Sometimes I feel as if I'm cursed. A slow, hungry curse that has worked its way across my entire life, stripping me of everything I love.”

“My grief has burrowed into me like a dark thing that eats away at my life.”

“You're the same as you were yesterday and the day before. Nothing has changed. Not really. Forget what troubles you. Regret nothing, but learn from any mistakes you make. Tomorrow will be a brighter day, I promise.”

“I guess I have a hard time believing in things I can't see.”

“Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls.”

“Even in the darkest and most cruel person, there is still a kernel of good. And within the most perfect champion, there is darkness. The question is, will one give in to the dark or the light? It's something we decide with every choice we make, every day that we exist. What might not be evil to you could be evil to someone else. Knowing this makes us powerful even without magic.”
