The Wizards Of Once Quotes
"This is the story of a young boy Wizard and a young girl Warrior who have been taught since birth to hate each other like poison."
"Could it be that the Wizards and the Warriors have been so busy fighting each other that they have not noticed the return of an ancient evil?"
"But Xar was the most disobedient boy in the Wizard kingdom in about four generations, and forbidding things only encouraged him."
"There’s a Spelling Competition at the Winter Celebration tonight and YOU can’t do Magic… XAR CAN’T DO MAGIC…" taunted Looter.
"Witches might have returned to the Badwoods."
"You get back from the universe what you give to the universe."
"Witches’ feet make no footprint. Witches’ bodies make no shadows."
"But a crow’s feather would not do that, however large the crow."
"My Magic WILL come in," hissed Xar. "But in the meantime, I swear, I SWEAR I’m going to catch a Witch, and I will squeeze so much Magic out of that Witch, Looter, that I will BLAST you out of existence…"
"Maybe I did catch that Witch, Looter. Why don’t you try some of your spelling on me, and we’ll see what happens? Or are you AFRAID?"
"Be afraid, Looter, be very afraid. For I have not only the Magic of the Witch, but my Magic has the power to work on iron..."
"Imagine in your head… Feel the power in your fingers…"
"I don’t understand. I AM the boy of destiny. I CAN do it… I know I can do Magic…"
"I’m going to turn you green," grinned Looter, shooting blasts of Magic at Xar.
"You can’t do Magic, but I can. Let me show you how I do it."
"You’re small now," said Looter. "But I shall make you smaller…"
"Say I’ve won!" shouted Looter, backing off to give Xar a moment to give up the fight.
"You don’t care about me!" cried Xar at the top of his voice. "All you want is a son who is magic!!"
"I am Xar, son of Encanzo, the Great King Enchanter. And the wildwoods belong to US WIZARDS, not you stupid, Magic-less, heartless invaders!"
"I WISH I had never wished to be Magic," said Xar passionately. "I WISH I could give it all up so that Squeezjoos could be fine again."
"We’re going to crash, and if your scary mother catches us breaking into her scary dungeons, we’ll be in such trouble it doesn’t bear thinking about," chattered Bodkin through white lips.
"You are a very disobedient boy, and you obviously have not been treated firmly enough," said Queen Sychorax.
"You lie!" said Xar, pointing at the "Love-Never-Lies" potion.
"I want to save my sprite…" said Xar despairingly.
"A maze can be as effective as locks and keys if you are trying to hide something."
"Sprite dust! Xar must have sprinkled sprite dust along the way so we could follow him! That’s clever!"
"Magic can never be destroyed; it can only be hidden."
"The questions we should have been asking are: Why are the Witches waking NOW? Why here? Why us? And the answer is, they are waking because Wish’s Magic has just come in…"
"Sometimes you have to lose a battle in order to win the war."
"You have to WANT something really, really bad… WISH for it! SPELL IT!… And then POINT it out with your hands!"
"Actions have consequences. You must pay the price of making amends, and some things happen that cannot _un_happen."
"I WISH I had not shouted at the boy! I WISH I had listened to him, not threatened to expel him! I WISH he may not have died without knowing that I love him!"
"It is far, far better to have a son who has no Magic than to have no son at all… Welcome home, Xar."
"What is a giant without his size? What is a sprite without her wings?"
