#magi

Cuando te ataquen con magia, corre, reza o arroja piedras; muchos magos no son más que un fraude, y puedes salir airoso aun cuando tu corazón tiemble. O bien puedes permanecer tranquilo y murmurar cualquier cosa mientras mueves fluidamente tus manos. Algunos practicantes del arte son tan cobardes que pueden salir huyendo ante esto. Y, en cuanto a los otros, al menos, cuando los hombres hablen de tu muerte días más tarde, dirán: "Nunca supe que fuese un mago; lo mantuvo en secreto todos estos años. Debe de haber sido un tipo inteligente". Desde luego, algunos no estarán de acuerdo con esto. ↗

They're power-hungry, the mundane said of the magical people. They're immoral, people said, and they're scary. Playing with the dark arts could plunge me into evil. I'd be pulled toward depravity. Blasphemy would begin to seem like truth, bad like good, God like Satan. It had happened to people through the centuries, they said. And they were right. All that did happen. ↗

Writing is a job, a talent, but it's also the place to go in your head. It is the imaginary friend you drink your tea with in the afternoon. ↗

That's the beauty of it. Have you seen the contraptions these magicians build to accomplish the most mundane feats? They are a bunch of fish covered in feathers trying to convince the public they can fly, I am simply a bird in their midst. ↗

She was so intelligent that she could think herself into beauty. Intelligence...they don't talk about it much, the poets, but when a woman is intelligent and passionate and good... ↗

I am imagination. I can see what the eyes cannot see. I can hear what the ears cannot hear. I can feel what the heart cannot feel. ↗
