* "What has a front has a back. And the bigger the front, the bigger the back. Everything must be balanced, good and evil, light and dark. Even if we don't want it to be." -- Keady in Sweep.
* "God is to judge Good and Evil, not man!" -- Father Benedict (to Brother Sinestus Tor, to Colin, in October 1771.)
* "... It was a blood lust, an animals need to kill or be killed, hunt or be hunted." -- Morgan (as a wolf, tracking down her prey.)
* "... This too i regretted: I wanted to be a wolf forever. How diminishing to go back to being a mere girl, a pathetic human; how pitiful, how humiliating!" -- Morgan (turning back to human after almost killing Hunter - her prey.)
* "... I meant the power that comes from doing something profoundly Good and selfless, the power that comes from putting Good out into the world. Remember, what you send out is thrice returned." -- Eoife (proposing to Morgan for her help on finding and catching her father - Ciaran.)
* "The Thorn on/and the Rose." -- Cal to Morgan (Cal talking to Morgan about how Life/Wicca is just like a rose.)
* "That's wat magick is. Many choices, through your lifetime. How you make them determines who you are. And who you are determines how you make them." -- Hunter to Morgan.
* Wicca is full of pithy sayings like that. I was tempted to write them all down in a book and watch it become a bestseller. Chicken Soup for the Witch's Soul." -- Morgan thinking of what Hunter said to her.
* We do no work but that which should be done. My ancestors were gathering knowledge while your people were still fighting the Crusades." -- Nuala Riordan to Brother Sinestus Tor.
* "... Because it's so easy to make the wrong small decision. And once you do, it's even easier to make the wrong big decision. And then, boom. You're part of the darkness..." -- Morgan while taking a test she failed in American History class.
* "... Sometimes nothing is clear. Sometimes there is no right path, no correct decision. Sometimes i absolutely want what i shouldn't have and do what i shouldn't do. Sometimes i want to reach out, grab power from the air, and bend everything around me to my will... So far i haven't, most of the time i do all right. But not always, and not without a struggle." -- Hunter to Morgan when talking about making the wrong decisions.
* "... This is all part of life, my dear. Even pain and embarrasment are part of it." --Eoife (Morgans tutor/elder from the International Council Of Witches).
* "Light and Dark are, of course, two sides of the same coin. They make up everything we know in life. This concept has been more readily described as the principle of Ying & Yang. Light and Dark are two halves of a whole. One cannot exist without the other. And more important, they are connected by infinite shades of gray." -- Hunter (at a weekly Circle with Morgan and friends.)
* "The whole point of this Light and Dark concept is that it isn't always crystal clear what belongs on which side. Making a choice for good isn't always easy or even identifiable." -- Morgan (when Hunter was talking about Ying/Yang principles.)
* "Love can be the most joyous gift or a strangling prison." -- Hunter (talking about Good/Bad concepts.)
* "Everything we do, say, feel, express - it all has two sides. Which side to promote is a decision we each make everyday, many times a day." -- Hunter (explaining/giving examples about Light/Dark concepts.)
* "...The horrible thing was, the more you learned, the less clear it was. Which was why an unshakable inner compass of morality was so necessary." -- Morgan (thinking on what Hunter had said.)
* "The thing about Catholicism is that it can be comforting. It provides a structure to live your life within. In Wicca everything is wide open: choices about Good and Bad, ideas about how to live your life, ideas about how you celebrate Wicca and all its facets. Nothing is really, truly set in stone. Which was why individual knowledge is so important, because each witch has to determine all these things for herself... Wicca is more based on the individual's choices and beliefs and less based on a set of rules. However, along with Freedom comes Responsibility and the increased possibility of completely screwing up." -- Morgan (thinking about Wicca and Catholicism while going to Church.)
