Magic comes from what is inside you. It is a part of you. You can't weave together a spell that you don't beleive in.

The human mind isn't a terribly logical or consistent place.

That doesn't make them strong or weak people, or good or bad people. It just makes them people.

No one is an unjust villain in his own mind. Even - perhaps even especially those who are the worst of us. Some of the cruelest tyrants in history were motivated by noble ideals, or made choices they would call hard but necessary for the good of their nation. We're all the hero of our own story.
Jim Butcher
Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful.
