"Witches never existed, except in peopleâ€™s minds. All there was in the olden days was women and some men who believed in herbal cures and in folklore and in the wish to fly. Witches? Weâ€™re all witches in one way or another. Witches was the invention of mankind, son. Weâ€™re all witches beneath the skin."

We draw ever nearer to the end of our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off behind. Repeating, often adroitly, the endless deeds of the everyday. Leaving behind a feeling of immeasurable emptiness.”
“If you live to be 100 years old, what you've done here for the last two days, weeks, monthswhat you've done here will echo in eternity.”
