“..perhaps mortals are not formed for fairy bliss?”

“Once, at the dreaming dawn of history -- before the world was categorized and regulated by mortal minds, before solid boundaries formed between the mortal world and any other -- fairies roamed freely among men, and the two races knew each other well. Yet the knowing was never straightforward, and the adventures that mortals and fairies had together were fraught with uncertainty, for fairies and humans were alien to each other.”

“Is war perhaps nothing else but a need to face death, to conquer and master it, to come out of it alive -- a peculiar form of denial of our mortality?”

“Perhaps the whisper was born before lips,And the leaves in treelessness circled and flew,And those, to whom we impart our experience as bliss,Acquire their forms before we do”

“The secrets of alchemy exist to transform mortals from a state of suffering and ignorance to a state of enlightenment and bliss.”

“The highest form of bliss is living with a certain degree of folly.”
