“Extraordinary imagination, especially in a witch world. Also friendship.”

“Orthodoxy is marked by sobriety, not by emotional enthusiasm. It is also marked by a quite “ordinary” persistence in living the humble, consistent life of Christ, not by seeking out extraordinary experiences, especially supernatural ones.”

“It's hard to find evil in this world,' said the Witch. Evil is always more easily imagined than good, somehow.”

“It should be particularly stressed that the fantastic makes no sense in an out-and-out strange world. To imagine the fantastic in it is even impossible. In a world full of marvels the extraordinary loses its power.”

“Extraordinary things only happen to extraordinary people. Maybe it's a sign that you've got an extraordinary destiny--something greater than you could've imagined.”

“in the presence of extraordinary actuality, consciousness takes the place of imagination.”
