Magicking Little Witch

There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind, but keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life.
- Unknown

Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
- Peter S. Beagle

In life, we weep at the thought of death. Perhaps in death, we weep at the thought of life.
- Earl Carol

A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"
- Sydney J. Harris

If you bring me back to life, my death will have no meaning. I had a fine existence. I was a good place. I spent a little time in the waking world. I even fell in love, once, a little. I lived a good life and it ended. Would you take that away from me?
- Fiddler's Green, in SANDMAN #70, part one of "The Wake"

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else.
- Emily Dickinson

Now it is time that we were going, I to die and you to live; but which of us has the happier prospect is unknown to anyone but God.
Plato - From The Apology, quoting Socrates's final words at his trial

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.
- John Burroughs

Every time I close the door on reality it comes through the windows.
- Jennifer Unlimited

Life isn't fair. It's just fairer than death, that's all.
- The Princess Bride

There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
- Carl Jung

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
- Elbert Hubbard

Life is made up of years that mean nothing and the moments that mean it all
- Baron Charles Percy Snow

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.
- Gilda Radner

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
- H. E. Fosdick

The principle of maximum diversity operates both at the physical and at the mental level. It says that the laws of nature and the initial conditions are such as to make the universe as interesting as possible. As a result, life is possible but not too easy. Always when things are dull, something new turns up to challenge us and to stop us from settling into a rut. Examples of things which make life difficult are all around us: comet impacts, ice ages, weapons, plagues, nuclear fission, computers, sex, sin and death. Not all challenges can be overcome, and so we have tragedy. Maximum diversity often leads to maximum stress. In the end we survive, but only by the skin of our teeth.
