FAMOUS QUOTES FROM TRITHOFAR

Here are some assorted quotes from famous and powerful people in Trithofar.  . 

"Power given freely corrupts the soul; there must always be a price."  Orthonian

"To send magic into the world is like sending one's children into the world.  You must wait to see what condition it returns to you, and who it's with, and what it has been doing."  Willeonis Treborrin, Bringer of Magic

"There are only two destinies: to guide the less powerful or be guided by them." Xenoreth, Father of Avimancy  

"I see no difficulty here.  These abominations you say you see are merely puppets, but more than that, they are freedom for those who live.  They bear only the reflection of their former selves, as a glove only takes the shape of the hand actually within it.  These things are only things, no longer men or women; they are but servants, but unquestioning, unflinching, unwavering.  They never balk at any command given them, they never steal, they are never idle when told to go.  They require no pay nor any form of recompense, nor maintenance, nor housing.  They are not lured away by the temptations of the flesh.  They produce no children.  They have no words they need to say, no gossip to spread, no interests, no hobbies, no need for rest or relaxation.  They celebrate no holidays, nor practice any faith that keeps them from their work.  They do not desire freedom, because they do not feel the loss of it.  If they are broken, they do not miss their wholeness.  They give air to no complaints, nor keep any judgments of their masters, nor seek any better employment.  The conditions of their work never frighten them.  If they are naked, they never shudder.  If they are dressed, they never sweat. What's more, each and every living being must needs give up their body back to the world to use. You say what I have created here are abominations; I say these creations are an inevitable use for what would have been otherwise useless.  Why toss aside a knife when it is chipped, if it will still cut rope?  Where is the use in giving up a small gold coin simply because it is not enough to buy bread yet?" Xenoreth, Father of Avimancy   

"To assume that the world and the blanketing universe is to be viewed from one direction, through one set of eyes, to only be forward or backward, to only be smiled at or frowned at, upwards or downwards, left or right, is to stand only in one place forever and be of far too narrow a mind.  To assume the Highest will has put one purpose, and is but a painting against a wall to be viewed only from one side and one angle is to suggest what is good is exchanged for the goods of the enemy and evil one."  Willeonis Treborrin, Bringer of Magic

"The gift of magic I give to the world, and like any gift which is given, it is given to be used and if it is to be used it can only be assumed it can be used for anything, and everything, and this means it can be used without regard for life and love and light and for evil as well as good."  Willeonis Treborrin, Bringer of Magic

"If my steps be forced to land in agony, then let the strides between the steps be only bliss." Stel the Betrayer of the World.  

"What is the essence of sorcery?  It is convincing a soul or spirit it must stay in one place, the violently forcing it elsewhere" Veshniir, the first soul-bender.
