#Illusion

"Silent. So it should be. You have no place in this world, Luthiel. And there is no other.' Zalos reached out and lifted a few strands of her hair. 'Bright songs and the magic of hope are but a dangerous illusion. The fake comfort of witches charms."

"[On Schopenhauer in Black and White] Schopenhauer's views of love are flawed. Love can't be merely an illusion of the mind to aid in procreation, but the path to redemption for an otherwise violently selfish species. Past human greatness has proven that when challenged, love can overpower impulsive instinct, and in essence, the vilest aspects of our nature."

"Magic's an art where you use slight of hand or illusion to create wonder. And I was just intrigued with that idea."

"To find out if she really loved me, I hooked her up to a lie detector. And just as I suspected, my machine was broken."

"Don't believe everything you think. Thoughts are just that - thoughts."

"Knowledge kills action; action requires the veils of illusion."

"Life is an illusion. I am held together in the nothingness by art."

"It's always hard to remember love - years pass and you say to yourself, Was I really in love, or was I just kidding myself? Was I really in love, or was I just pretending he was the man of my dreams? Was I really in love, or was I just desperate?"
