1 " Love is another kind of power, which shouldn't surprise you. Magic comes from emotions, among other things.

7 " See, those who wield the primordial forces of creation have a long-running grudge with physics. "
8 " Thomas was an annoying wiseass who tended to make everyone he met want to kill him, and when I have that much in common with someone, I can't help but like him a little. "

You really enjoy dropping all women together in the same demographic, don’t you?” “It’s not my fault all women like motorcycles, Murph. They’re basically huge vibrators. With wheels. "
16 " Inari screamed and swung her stake, but her Buffy impersonation wasn't any better than mine. "
17 " The old man’s staff was shorter and thicker than mine, but the carved sigils and formulae on it were noticeably similar, and the texture and color of the wood was identical. "
18 " Trite but true—you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. People change. The world changes. And sooner or later you lose people you care about. If you don’t mind some advice from someone who doesn’t know much about families, I can tell you this: Don’t take yours for granted. It might feel like all of them will always be there. But they won’t.” She "
