"What a mystery we are to ourselves, even as we go on, learning more, sorting it out a little. The further on we go, the more meaning there is but the less articulable. You live your life, and the older you get " the more specificity you harvest " the more precious becomes every ounce and spam.

The less a mathematics equation (a sum game); the more like music (significant secret)."

One never learns 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...?"
"Do good though, will you?" She blinked brightly at the green girl. "If not for your parents or your grandmother, then for me?"
"It isn't hard to find evil in this world. Evil is always more easily imagined than good, somehow."
