“The Innocent Mage is come , and we stand at the beginning of the end of everything”
“Well, everything comes to an end, sooner or later," she said. "Everything begins and ends. Everything changes.”
“Knowing that everything comes to an end is a gift of experience, a consolation gift for knowing that we ourselves are coming to an end. Before we get it we live in a continuous present, and imagine the future as more of that present. Happiness is endless happiness, innocent of its own sure passing. Pain is endless pain.”
“For we cannot speak of the beginning; where the beginning begins our thinking stops, it comes to an end.”
“For everything in life there is always a beginning and an end. This is the tough part the most difficult thing when you see that it’s coming: The end.”
“Wherever we are posted, there we stand, come life or death, to the end.”
