“From a good teacher you may learn the secret of listening. You will never learn the secret of life. You will have to listen for yourself”
“You never learn anything by listening to yourself talk.”
“Briar: "They never tell you some things. They tell you mages have wonderful power and they learn all kinds of secrets. Nobody ever mentions that some secrets you don't ever want to learn." Rosethorn: "All you can do is learn good to balance the bad. Learn and do all the good within your reach. Then, if you wake in a sweat, you have something to set against the dream.”
“If you listen quietly enough life will whisper its secrets to you”
“Everything that happens to you is your teacher. The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it. Polly B. Berends”
“Learning the secret of flight from a bird was a good deal like learning the secret of magic from a magician.”
