Well, I'm not at all certain what Jane Austen or Oscar Wilde would make of Facebook. I imagine the former would offer keen observations about the trustability of "friends" made in such a manner, while the latter's status would always be some clever bon mot.
My postings are likely to be neither, but I thought it would be good to use this strange new form of magick to help keep people up to date... read more »

“I will not deny that my heart has long occupied itself with the most tender feelings for another. So strong were these impulses that I indulged myself by thinking that if I could not have him whom I admiredwhom I will admit it now when I would not before I lovedthen I would never want another. However those are sentiments best saved for one of Lily's romances. The heart is a far more practical thing and in its life is happily capable of more than a single attachment.”
Galen Beckett, The Magicians and Mrs. Quent

“He was smiling again, his face alight, and Ivy knew her own expression was a mirror to his. Ivoleyn, he said, softly now, as if testing the word. And she replied, Dashton. Then their hands parted, but only so they might come closer, like two trees twining together to stand as one in a forest of green.”
Galen Beckett, The Master of Heathcrest Hall

“Ivoleyn is the most beautiful and remarkable woman in all of Altania, he said, his throat so tight the words inflicted a pain upon him, but he forged on all the same.

And once I did, I was too cowardly to make as stand for it.”
Galen Beckett, The Master of Heathcrest Hall
