“Human greed is a monstrous thing. The more you have, the more you want.”
“When you have more money than you need, it means that someone else has suffered for your gains.”
“One man’s coin is not equal to another’s. Human suffering is what plugs the gap between those values.”

“No one fully understands how gravity works. That’s why there are so many theories framed around the question. There’s Aristotle’s theory, which Noah already explained, Galileo’s laws of dynamics, Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Buridan’s theory of impetus, Einstein’s general theory of relativity... There are even some theories that gravity doesn’t exist at all.”

No one can see the future. I don’t think it’s very noble to let fear hold you back from doing the right thing, just ’cause it might go wrong, do you?”

Books were for exploring, not reading. That was what the man’s father always said. You had to be constantly inquisitive to make proper use of your literacy, first in finding the books that were meant for you to read, then in properly ferreting out the information you needed from within them, and lastly in determining the area in your life where you could apply said information practically. Anything less fell short of “exploring.”

There were three golden questions you needed to ask yourself when creating magic. Which phenomenon would the spell make use of? How would the spell manifest? What effect would the spell have? Without a clear answer to all three of them, your spell would never be perfected.

“As long as people have feelings, there’s always gonna be love and hate, and feelings always get in the way of clear thinking. It’s just the way things are.”

“Humans need power to get most anything done. Not just physical power, but power of spirit, and that don’t come just by callin’ for it.”

“When one picks up the sword and faces down the opponent, one must forget oneself and instead work to overcome the challenge before them.”

“What makes us feel comfortable is unique to us all. When we stand superior to somebody, generosity comes in the form of making sure their working environment is the best it can be. We must not force things onto those below us.”
