"A boy and a girl, dressed in the T-shirts and denim that are the shabby uniform of this age."
"They expected to lose. And therefore, they lost. [..] People who start thinking deep dark thoughts in the middle of a war start expecting to lose."
"Master the rules of the game until you can play it better they can."
"Some stories wait their turn to be told, others just tap you on the shoulder and insist you tell them."
"Magic is really only the utilization of the entire spectrum of the senses. Humans have cut themselves off from their senses. Now they see only a tiny portion of the visible spectrum, hear only the loudest of sounds, their sense of smell is shockingly poor and they can only distinguish the sweetest and sourest of tastes."
