But I'm always dreaming, even when I'm awake; it is never finished." -the Lady Amalthea, from The Last Unicorn

Wisdom is finding joy in bewilderment

Who has choices need not choose. We must, who have none. We can love but what we lose-- What is gone is gone.

They know these mornings well and love them desperately because they cannot last - these people who know that nothing lasts.

I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.

Only to a magician is the world forever fluid, infinitely mutable and eternally new. Only he knows the secret of change, only he knows truly that all things are crouched in eagerness to become something else, and it is from this universal tension that he draws his power.

Envy nobody. It is the true secret of happiness, or at least the only one I know. (By Moonlight)
