After I saved some money, I quit work and went to a local college.

How easy it is to think well of ourselves. Until the moment is upon us, we can never be certain.

At the end of knowledge, wisdom begins, and at the end of wisdom, there is not grief...but hope

A taste for adventure is by no means a masculine monopoly.

I saw myself. . . in the time I watched, I saw strength and frailty, pride and vanity, courage and fear. Of wisdom, a little. Of folly much. Of intentions many good ones; but many more left undone. On this alas, I saw myself a man like any other. But this too I saw . . . Alike as men may seem, each is different as flakes of snow, no two the same.You told me you had no need to seek the Mirror, knowing you were Annlaw Clay-Shaper. Now I know who I am: myself and none other. I am Taran.

...alas, raising a young lady is a mystery even beyond an enchanter's skill.

Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts.
