“I don’t sell spells, and I don’t sell tricks. I don’t carry illusions or marked cards or weighted coins. I can not sell you an endless purse or help you win the lottery. I can’t make that girl you’ve got your eye on fall in love with you, and I wouldn’t do it even if I could. I don’t have a psychic hotline to your dead relatives, I don’t know if you’re going to be successful in your career, and I don’t know when you’re going to get married. I can’t get you into Hogwarts or any other kind of magic school, and if you even mention those stupid sparkly vampires I will do something unpleasant to you.”

“I don’t settle down. I don’t follow any path. Because I am the wanderer and wandering is my destiny!”
“I don’t settle. Or more accurately, I can’t. To settle is to abandon great things to the death of smaller things. It is to desert what could have been for what never should have been. To settle is to bargain away the wildly rich abilities of our humanity in a ruinous trade-off for a lackluster existence. Settling is to declare an indefensible surrender to the evils of mediocrity at the expense of God’s resplendent and wholly viable vision for this existence of ours. No, I don’t settle because I can’t. And the fact is, neither can you. Therefore, I would suggest that you begin settling your life squarely on the reality that settling is far too unsettling to settle for.”

“I don’t sit down to write unless something stirs from within. I never try to write a poem without its command, when a poem comes and asks to be written, I simply obey.

“I don’t sleep
I am friends with time who passes by in front of my open eyes
The clock can go for a long time, to my surprise
I am familiar with the dark yet light blue of the sky at dawn
I lay there in my bed, waiting, wishing, for the
sweet release but it doesn’t come
Everyone is asleep and I hear every breath and every snore
It can be a very interesting thing or such a bore
I don’t sleep”

“I don't so much mind looking back on having lost the election, or having been denied a role in the play, or having had my novel repeatedly rejected, or having been turned down for a date, or recalling laughter at my expense when I attempted some silly challenge. Those things simply prove that I lived life. What I do mind, however, is looking back on the lost opportunities where imagined concerns kept me from even trying—lose or win. I've learned that there is no regret in a brave attempt, only in cowering to fear.”

You are there in every word I speak.
I may forgive you
On the day when my heart no longer
Whispers your name or
On the day

You were my dream in the day time
Now, I am going to hide you
In my silence
All through the night.

You are there in every word I speak.”

“I don't suppose you care to enlighten me as to who you are?"
"Do you really care?"
He smiled then. "No."
"I thought not. Miss Brown will do."
"On the contrary- 'Miss Brown' will not do at all. I refuse to have someone living under my protection with such a tedious name. 'Emma' will suffice. You seem rather like an Emma, despite your exotic appearance. There's something definitely well ordered about the name Emma. Calm and reasonable, warmhearted and generous."
"You think I'm calm and reasonable?" She was astounded. While that sounded a bit more flattering than she tended to view herself, he'd painted a fairly accurate picture of the real Emma. Well ordered, sensible, kind, and serene, despite the storms that surrounded her. But how could he possibly know that?”
