“Be funny whenever possible, even if some people don't get it.”

“It's sometimes funny to watch some people doing something the wrong way but doing it confidently. Even more funny, they succeeded.”

“And guys don't get attached, guys don't give themselves over completely, and guys lie. That's why they should be handled with great trepidation, not trusted, and held at arm's length whenever possible.”

“I don't want any funny business, and above all I don't want to be dragged into other people's funny business. If it's to be my head on the block, I want to know that it's doing there, and not that it's some stupid things that other people have done.”

“...I don't rightly know. It just ain't possible to explain some things, maybe even most things. It's interesting to wonder on them and do some speculation, but the main thing is you have to accept it - take it for what it is, and get on with your getting." (91)”

“The funny thing about mundies is how obsessed with magic they are for a bunch of people who don't even know what the word means.”
