“Oh now that's a blueprint for an impossibly rosy future”

“I take responsibility only for the future, not the past. The past can't hurt you the way the future can.”

“Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling porcupine," she crooned. "Little critters fried like fritters come out crunchy and divine.”

“To look into the mirror is to see the future, in blood and rubies.”

“People always did like to talk, didn't they? That's why I call myself a witch now: the Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.”

“The future reshapes the memory of the past in the way it recalibrates significance; some episodes are advanced, others lose purchase.”

“That's all I want- to do no harm.”
