“If you don't learn to laugh at life it'll surely kill you, that I know.”

“Me, I say too much optimism will get you killed.”

“How much blood will it take to make them stop? How many more children must die?”

“Madness,' Nick called. 'That's all I've found here. Does Avalon breed insanity? Is that the nature of magic, to drive everyone out of their minds?”

“Both sides so blinded by their fear and hate of each other that they couldn't see they were all fighting for the same thing.”

“For the world is a hard place and nothing comes without a price.”

“How will I make a people who do not understand the power of belief believe?”

“Men who fear demons see demons everywhere.”

“Demon or not, it didn't matter, suffering was everywhere he looked.”

“Men-kind shared this world for but a blink, then, sadly, they became enlightened, found science and religion. The new world of men left little room for magic or the magical creatures of old. Earth’s first children were driven into the shadows by flame and cold iron, by man’s insatiable need of conquest.”

“Shit spews from your lips as from the ass of a pig.”

“Magic?" What did magic have to do with breaking into someone's store and stealing their stuff?"Don't you get it?" Peter said. "You're free now. You don't have to live by their rules anymore." Peter pointed into the inky blackness of the basement. "The darkness is calling. A little danger, a little risk. Feel your heart race, listen to it. That's the sound of being alive. It's your time, Nick. Your one chance to have fun before it's all stolen by them, the adults, with their cruelty and endless rules, their can't-do-this, and can't-do-that's, their have-tos, and better-dos, their little boxes and cages all designed to break your spirit, to kill your magic.”

“Christians. They’re determined to rid the land of any who worship the Horned One. Murdering all the druids, burning the temples, sometimes whole villages, and knocking over the standing stones.” The Lady’s face hardened. “This god of peace and love certainly likes to bathe the land in blood.”

“Stop your weeping. Grief is for the dead.”

“A house built on lies has a weak foundation.”
