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

“There is a witchery in the sea, its songs and stories, and in the mere sight of a ship, and the sailor's dress, especially to a young mind, which has done more to man navies, and fill merchantmen, than all the pressgangs of Europe.”

“Maidens stand still, they are lovely statues and all admire them. Witches do not stand still. I was neither, but better that I err on the side of witchery, witchery that unlocks towers and empties ships.”

“In order to go on with our lives, we are always capable of making the ominous into the merely strange.”

“...whenever there is inspiration...and enthusiasm...there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of.”

“Come! our world is done:For all the witchery of the world is fled,And lost all wanton wisdom long since won.”
