"The momentum of the mind can be vexingly, involuntarily capricious."
Psychology
"One never knows how the witch became wicked, or whether that was the right choice for her - is it ever the right choice? Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil? It is the very least question of definitions."
Ethics
"The story of 'Mirror Mirror' is in many ways a story about evolution. It's about the evolution of a child into an adult. It's about the evolution of those dwarves into something a little less rock-like, a little more humanoid. It's about the evolution of history, too, from the darkness of the Middle Ages into the light of the Age of Reason."
Education
"I think that's shameful, even if it's just a story, to propose an afterlife for evil... Any afterlife notion is a manipulation and a sop. It's shameful the way the unionists and the pagans both keep talking up hell for intimidation and the airy Other Land for reward."
Ethics
"Children played at those stories, they dreamed about them. They took them to heart and acted as if to live inside them."
Childhood
"Where I'm from, we believe in all sorts of things that aren't true... we call it history."
History
"To read, even in the half-dark, is also to call the lost forward."
Education
"Oh, mercy, there is nothing monstrously ugly about you. Ruth may be unpleasing, but you are merely plain. If anything, it's my beauty that's monstrous, for it sweeps away any other aspect of my character."
Identity
"Night-time is being brushed aside like so much cobweb. The day is wound up and begins even before the last haunted dreams, the last of the fog, those spectral and evanescent residues, have faded away."
Time
"Immortality is a chancy thing, it cannot be promised or earned. Perhaps it cannot even be identified for what it is."
