“Oberon’s been kidnapped along with one of the werewolves, and that’s why we’re all so upset. We’ll talk more tomorrow, and I promise to answer all your questions if I survive the night,” I said.
The widow’s eyebrows raised. “Ye’ve got all these nasty pooches to run around with and ye still might die?”
“I’m going to go fight with a god, some demons, and a coven of witches who all want to kill me,” I said, “so it’s a distinct possibility.”
“Are y’goin’ t’kill ’em back?”
“I’d certainly like to.”
“Attaboy,” the widow chuckled. “Off y’go, then. Kill every last one o’ the bastards and call me in the mornin’.”

“Most druids fall into two groups: sticks or stones. Wood has some wonderful properties, but it has a tendency to react too much with the user for my particular taste. Because they retain some of their own innate essence, using wands becomes almost a partnership. You have to be very nature-oriented to use them to their best advantage.”
― Mark Del Franco, Unshapely Things

“When in doubt, know your way out, I always say."

“When in doubt, know your way out, I always say."
"I thought you always said, 'When in doubt, blame the dark elves.'"
"Well, yeah, that too."
"I don't think those are very practical solutions to doubt," Oberon said. "They don't leave you feeling satisfied. 'When in doubt, eat your neighbor's lunch' is better, because then you would at least be full.”
― Kevin Hearne, Trapped

“I was reaching for one of the handles when I heard Heidler’s voice from behind me. ‘It would not be wise to enter. It is a bad time to disturb the dead.”
― Micheal Rivers, Verliege

“Consider the way that so many people nowadays use the word "imaginary" to mean "unreal." In actuality, of course, what we imagine is real in its own way, and it can be powerful and important as well.”
― John Michael Greer, The Druid Path: A Modern Tradition of Nature Spirituality

“Holy cow, she'd just slept with the hottest guy in the universe. She, the super science geek. The you-go-girl side of her brain wahooed. The rational side of her brain spat out a resounding, Oh shit.”
― Zoe Forward, Protecting His Witch

“Ce nom a d’ailleurs un double sens, qui se réfère encore à un autre symbolisme : dru ou deru, comme le latin robur, désigne à la fois la force et le chêne (en grec δρυς) ; d’autre part, vid est, comme en sanscrit, la sagesse ou la connaissance, assimilée à la vision, mais c’est aussi le gui ; ainsi, dru-vid est le gui du chêne, qui était en effet l’un des principaux symboles du Druidisme, et il est en même temps l’homme en qui réside la sagesse appuyée sur la force. De plus, la racine dru, comme on le voit par les formes sanscrites équivalentes dhru et dhri comporte encore l’idée de stabilité, qui est d’ailleurs un des sens du symbole de l’arbre en général et du chêne en particulier ; et ce sens de stabilité correspond ici très exactement à l’attitude du Sphinx au repos.”
― René Guénon, Spiritual Authority & Temporal Power

“New Year’s Eve at the Witches’ Ball, with all the wiccans, druids, and pagans in their incredible costumes, was the best time of the year. Easily Zin’s favorite holiday, because the night was for everyone of all traditions, religions, and countries. Celebrated by anyone, anywhere, on that hour. It represented the boundary between years, this in-between time. Plus, that evening was about the moment. It was here now. Indisputably immediate.”
― Ruth Ann Oskolkoff, Zin

“People call them cobwebs. I’d never seen a cob. Those are fucking spiders that make the webs, when there is a spider web there is a spider made it. You find a cob, you check and see aint it got eight legs and eats bugs, which is mighty close to the definition of a spider in my book.”
― DC Alexander, Earthly Powers: The Adventure Begins

“Solutions to our problems as a species require a change of attitude and thinking, especially among those in positions of power and influence. Perhaps this need will provide an opportunity for Druids and others of similar spiritual/wisdom paths to have a greater and hopefully insightful input in the future of human society.”
― Luke Eastwood

“My body jerked and twisted as the power superheated my organs and flesh. I felt like I’d been thrown into a furnace. The flames were constantly stoked by my billowing, heaving lungs. I bit my lip to keep the shouts of agony spilling into the room.”
