Quotations

This place holds more magic than any place in the world.

Oh, Mother Night! Fold your dark arms about me. Protect me in your black embrace. I sit alone, an impotent exile, whilst this form, this presence, returns to torment me!

I require the solace of the shadows and the dark of the night. Sunshine is my destroyer!

Every wolf suffers fleas. 'Tis easy enough to scratch.

The dreams of youth are the regrets of maturity. Dreams are my speciality.

I know everything, Jack. Yet I do not understand what has happened today. Suppose you tell me, Jack? You know these woods as well as any elf. Did you not see something odd today, any strange spirits? Did nothing untoward happen?

Honeythorn Gump

Love you say? Well love is another matter.

Honeythorn Gump

Mortal world turned to ice... Here be goblin paradise!

Blix

Fire, fire, burning higher, making music like a choir!

Blix

Look! Ugly one-horned mule!

Blunder, speaking of the unicorns.
