“In Life’s name and for Life’s sake, I say that I will use the Art for nothing but the service of that Life. I will guard growth and ease pain. I will fight to preserve what grows and lives well in its own way; and I will change no object or creature unless its growth and life, or that of the system of which it is part, are threatened. To these ends, in the practice of my Art, I will put aside fear for courage, and death for life, when it is right to do so—till Universe’s end. I will look always toward the Heart of Time, where all times are one, where all our sundered worlds lie whole, as they were meant to be.”
― Diane Duane, So You Want to Be a Wizard

“We choose as best we can those who will lift us up and support the people we wish to be, not the ones who smother who we would become. This, I think, is the core of what Iryasa needs from me today: the understanding that relationships are not about giving up or sharing control of ourselves. It’s about finding people whose visions of who we are and can be are in line with ours. It’s about people who want to help us grow into ourselves.”
