A rock is a good thing$$$ too$$$ you know. If the Isles of Earthsea were all made of diamond$$$ we'd lead a hard life here. Enjoy the illusions$$$ lad$$$ and let the rocks be rocks.

Only in silence the word$$$ only in dark the light$$$ only in dying life.

What good is power when you're too wise to use it?

You thought$$$ as a boy$$$ that a mage is one who can do anything. So I thought$$$ once. So did we all. And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens$$$ ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing$$$ but does only and wholly what he must do.

For a word to be spoken$$$ there must be silence. Before$$$ and after.

Go to bed; tired is stupid.

I had forgotten how much light there is in the world$$$ till you gave it back to me.

To light a candle is to cast a shadow...”
