Diane Duane

“Reading one book is like eating one potato chip.”

“Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?”

“Beware! said the peridxis's voice in her head. Don't let It's shadowy little truth overwhelm the greater one.”

“Must I accept the barren Gift? -learn death, and lose my Mastery? Then let them know whose blood and breath will take the Gift and set them free: whose is the voice and whose the mind to set...”

“There is a rule for fantasy writers: The more truth you mix in with a lie, the stronger it gets.”
