“Erranti nel tumulto del mondo
senza meta nel tempo noi siamo.
Solo per amor puro e profondo
qui e adesso noi arriviamo.
Anima mia, all'erta sta:
ora e qui è l'eternità.”

“The sky spoke to me,” said Childermass. “If what I saw was true, then …” He paused.
“Then what?” asked Mr Norrell.
In his weakened state Childermass had been thinking aloud. He had meant to say that if what he had seen was true, then everything that Strange and Norrell had ever done was child’s-play and magic was a much stranger and more terrifying thing than any of them had thought of. Strange and Norrell had been merely throwing paper darts about a parlour, while real magic soared and swooped and twisted on great wings in a limitless sky far, far above them.”
― Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

“There was once a man, Harry, called the steppenwolf. He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the steppes. He had learned a good deal of all that people of a good intelligence can, and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life.”
