All or nothing at all, the true lover says, and that's the truth of it. My love will never die, he says. He claims eternity. And rightly. How can it die when it's life itself? What do we know of eternity but the glimpse we get of it when we enter in that bond?

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

I hope you are never victims, but I hope you have no power over other people.

I do try to separate my personal activism - showing up at a demonstration or something - from what I write.

No man, no power, can bind the action of wizardry or still the words of power. For they are the very words of Making, and one who could silence them could unmake the world.

There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.

The bond between true lovers is as close as we come to what endures forever.
