  • There is an old Italian proverb about the nature of translation: "Traddutore, traditore!" This means simply, "Translators-traitors!" Of course, as you can see, something is lost in the translation of this pithy expression: there is great similarity in both the spelling and the pronunciation of the original saying, but these get diluted once they are put in English dress. Even the translation of this proverb illustrates its truth!

  • People were so cheap there... they ate beans to save on bubble bath.

  • A storyteller makes up things to help other people; a liar makes up things to help himself.

  • You lie to her, you lie to me, you lie to yourself. Blind girl blind you.

  • Magic is dangerous: it's neither good nor bad, right nor wrong; it can be both a blessing and a curse. It takes strength, the strength of a man, to make the magic his own, to make it serve him, and not the other way around.

  • This is what is meant by last words: they are keys to unlock the afterlife. They're not last words but passwords, and as soon as they're spoken you can go.

  • Remembering a man's stories makes him immortal.

  • Dreams are what keep a man going.

  • It would be better for us to have some doubts in an honest pursuit of truth, than it would be for us to be certain about something that was not true.

  • In a moment, everything can change and in a moment, you can change everything.

  • The ending is always a surprise.

  • In the land of the dying, sentences go unfinished, you know how they're going to end.

  • When a man's stories are remembered, then he is immortal.
