"A poet is a musician who can't sing. Words have to find a man's mind before they can touch his heart, and some men's minds are woeful small targets. Music touches their hearts directly no matter how small or stubborn the mind of the man who listens."

If you can find someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you're lucky. Even if it only lasts for a minute or a day.

It is a word. Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. There are seven words that will make a person love you. There are ten words that will break a strong man's will. But a word is nothing but a painting of a fire. A name is the fire itself.

The sword shone with the knowledge that dawn was a small beginning compared to the ending of a season: the ending of a year.

" Third is the Law of Conservation, which says which says, 'similarity 'energy cannot be destroyed nor created. ' Correspondence, Con- sanguinity, and Conservation. three C's." 

Probably one of the best quotes I've ever read and sets the vibe of the book in general.
