Quote by Nicole Gozdek

“Jeder wusste, dass sich in der Königsfamilie und in den Blutlinien der Herzöge und Herzoginnen eine Magie vererbte, die man Herrschaftsmagie nannte. Doch was das für eine Magie war und was das bedeutete, das wusste die einfache Bevölkerung nicht. Vielleicht musste man die Zaubererakademie besucht haben oder ein Adliger sein, um über die verschiedenen Arten von Magie aufgeklärt zu werden. Etwas, was ihm als Gestaltwandler trotz seiner ihm innewohnenden Magie stets verwehrt bleiben würde.”

“Verwirrt hielt er still. Sie kam ihm vertraut vor, als würde er sie schon lange kennen. Instinktiv wusste er, dass er ihr vertrauen konnte, dass sie ihm mit ihrer Magie helfen wollte. Ihr Zauber schlüpfte unter seinen Schilden hindurch, als seien sie gar nicht da, als seien sie nicht dazu gemacht, Porelle aufzuhalten. Warum kam sie ihm so bekannt vor? Hatten die Götter sie möglicherweise als seine wahre Liebe vorgesehen?”

“As the steamer continued the crossing, Pandora tugged off her left glove to admirer wedding ring, as she'd already done a dozen times that day. Gabriel had chosen a loose sapphire from the collection of Challon family jewels, and had it set in a gold and diamond ring mounting. The Ceylon sapphire, cut and polished into a smooth dome, was a rare stone that gleamed with a twelve-ray star instead of six. To his satisfaction, Pandora seemed inordinately pleased by the ring, and was fascinated by the way the star seemed to move across the surface of the sapphire. The effect, called asterism, was especially noticeable in the sunlight. "What causes the star?" Pandora asked, as she tilted her hand this way and that. Gabriel tucked a kiss behind the soft lobe of her ear. "A few tiny imperfections," he murmured, "that make it all the more beautiful.”

“Let us suppose that this ounce of mud is left in perfect rest, and that its elements gather together, like to like, so that their atoms may get into the closest relations possible. Let the clay begin. Ridding itself of all foreign substance, it gradually becomes a white earth, already very beautiful; and fit, with help of congealing fire, to be made into finest porcelain, and painted on, and be kept in kings’ palaces. But such artificial consistence is not its best. Leave it still quiet to follow its own instinct of unity, and it becomes not only white, but clear; not only clear, but hard; not only clear and hard, but so set that it can deal with light in a wonderful way, and gather out of it the loveliest blue rays only, refusing the rest. We call it then a sapphire. Such being the consummation of the clay, we give similar permission of quiet to the sand. It also becomes, first, a white earth, then proceeds to grow clear and hard, and at last arranges itself in mysterious, infinitely fine, parallel lines, which have the power of reflecting not merely the blue rays, but the blue, green, purple, and red rays in the greatest beauty in which they can be seen through any hard material whatsoever. We call it then an opal. In next order the soot sets to work; it cannot make itself white at first, but instead of being discouraged, tries harder and harder, and comes out clear at last, and the hardest thing in the world; and for the blackness that it had, obtains in exchange the power of reflecting all the rays of the sun at once in the vividest blaze that any solid thing can shoot. We call it then a diamond. Last of all the water purifies or unites itself, contented enough if it only reach the form of a dew-drop; but if we insist on its proceeding to a more perfect consistence, it crystallizes into the shape of a star. And for the ounce of slime which we had by political economy of competition, we have by political economy of co-operation, a sapphire, an opal, and a diamond, set in the midst of a star of snow.”
