However you look at it, in these books "power" tends to be an expression of the essential nature of the person or being whose power it is. On those occasions when we've seen Lord Foul act directly, he seems to exert the withering force of pure scorn. IMHO, that's pretty intense.

We didn't make the world. All we have to do is live in it.

In accepting the Gift you Honor the Giver

There is no life which does not possess its own importance, no life which may not be touched by greatness at any time -- Yes, be touched by greatness and have a hand in it. (from The Mirror of Her Dreams)

It is wrong to ask for more than you give freely. In this way, we come to resemble what we hate.

Stone and sea are deep in life Two unalterable symbols of the world Permanence at rest And permanence in motion Participants in the power that remains

This you have to understand. There's only one way to hurt a man who's lost everything. Give him back something broken.
