Peter S. Beagle Life Quotations

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.

Real magic can never be made by offering someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back.
