Young Wizards/Quotes

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Those who refuse to serve the Powers,
become the tools of the Powers.
Those who agree to serve the Powers,
Themselves become the Powers.

Beware the Choice! Beware refusing it!
Book of Night with Moon, Tetrastych xiv: "Fire over Heaven"


Wizardry is choice. All else is mere mechanics.
High Wizardry


To be the miracle,

Get out of its way.
Book of Night with Moon, Distych 243


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 the Universe's end.
—The Wizard's Oath
