“Unseen University was much bigger on the inside. Thousands of years as the leading establishment of practical magic in a world where dimensions were largely a matter of chance in any case had left it bulging in places where it shouldn't have places. There were rooms containing rooms which, if you entered them, turned out to contain the room you'd started with, which can be a problem if you are in a conga line.”

“ Union is as if in a room there were two large windows through which the light streamed in it enters in diffrent places but it all becomes one. ”

“A room is, after all, a place where you hide from the wolves. That's all any room is.”

“There were three of them in the room now, where only two had first come in. Death was in the room with the two of them.”

“Rooms don't change, ornaments stand where you place them: only the heart decays.”

“But I have sometimes thought that a woman's nature is like a great house full of rooms: there is the hall, through which everyone passes in going in and out; the drawing-room, where one receives formal visits; the sitting-room, where the members of the family come and go as they list; but beyond that, far beyond, are other rooms, the handles of whose doors perhaps are never turned; no one knows the way to them, no one knows whither they lead; and in the innermost room, the holy of holies, the soul sits alone and waits for a footstep that never comes.”
