I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.

...nothing in the world is harder than convincing someone of an unfamiliar truth.

But no. There is a difference between the truth and what we wish were true.

I don't mind being called a liar. I am. I am a marvelous liar. But I hate being called a liar when I´m telling the perfect truth.

It will be worth it if I am remembered, if not flatteringly, then at least with some small amount of accuracy.

Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.
