“..:Being a good kid in a bad circumstance, quite an experience. Infact, bad things happened to good people. Yet, what's of importance and of much value, is the way we react, behave, think and how we use such circumstances. Jut remember, in school, they teach you the lessons first then they give you the tests. Life gives you the tests first, for you to learn the lessons later. Learn to learn the lessons you need now. And don't be afraid to clean up the closet every now and then in order to have room for the new you are to bring in:..”

“Life is a cruel teacher. She loves to give you the test first and the lesson later.”

“The first thing every mage should learn is that magic makes fools of us. Now you may call yourself a mage. You have learned the most important lesson.”

“There are no lessons to be learned from the past. This is the first thing I learned from it. There is nothing back then that there isn't here now. There is nothing here now - nothing that matters - that wasn't back then. What matters. Are you a good person? Do you have any love in your heart? What would you do in a given circumstance? It all comes down to something like that.”

“Firstly, by learning the great lesson of wise men: patience, the certainty that everything - both good and bad - is provisional in this life. Secondly, using this sudden change of course to risk new things in daily life, to do things you always dreamed of.”

“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”
