Peter Knox
: If this book is what I think it is, it contains the witches' first spells. It could tell us how we created vampires.
Diana Bishop
: That's just a myth.
Peter Knox
: Vampires have used their brute power and longevity to gain far too much control, but if we created them then we could uncreate them.

Shadow:
What are you looking at up there?
Zorya:
I was looking at that. See?
Shadow:
The big dipper?
Zorya:
Odin's Wain, they call it. And the Great Bear. It is a thing. It's not a god. Like a god. It's a bad thing. Chained up in those stars. If it escapes, it will eat the whole of everything. So we watch the sky all day, all night, the three sisters. If he escapes, the thing in the stars, the world is over. Like that.
Shadow:
And people believe that?
Zorya:
A long time ago.

A story is true. A story is untrue. As time extends, it matters less and less. The stories we want to believe, those are the ones that survive, despite upheaval and transition and progress. Those are the stories that shape history.

I have never yet met a successful person that hasn’t had to overcome either a little or a lot of adversity in his or her life. Overnight success is much more of a myth than reality.

I don't believe in the sort of eureka moment idea. I think it's a myth. I'm very suspicious that actually Archimedes had been thinking about that problem for a long time. And it wasn't that suddenly it came to him.

We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we’re able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.

It is a myth that abusers simply can’t ‘help it.’ Narcissists could easily take the same energy they use in controlling their public image or manufacturing chaos in their relationships and apply it to controlling their behavior in private, behind closed doors. They choose when and where it is "safe" to rage - usually at their loved ones.
