The woman I loved died because I did not love her enough - what greater sin is there than that?" (Uncle Chaim and Aunt Fifke and the Angel)

Ah, love may be strong, but a habit is stronger, And I knew when I loved by the way I behaved.

The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things...Things must happen when it is time for them to happen.

But I still feel I waste a lot of time leaning on my elbow and thinking to myself, 'alright sucker, now what?'

Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.

The tune was wailing and mournful, almost flagrantly so, and the total effect was of a heartbroken piccolo being parted forever from its bagpipe lover.

Never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.
