The sorcerer’s touch. (infinity, 146)

Sorcerers continually brace themselves from the onslaughts of infinity. Acts of sorcerers are free from expectation, fears of failure, and hopes of success. (Infinity, 173)

Writing as an act of sorcery. (Silence, xiv)

…Forces that are inexplicable and unbending…the sorcerer, on the other hand, does not think of changing or explaining them; instead he learns to use such forces by redirecting himself and adapting to their direction. That’s his trick. There is very little to sorcery once you find out the trick.
A sorcerer is only slightly better off than the average man [epic paragraph]. A sorcerer has only one means of balancing himself, his will. Thus he must feel and act like a warrior…only as a warrior can one survive the path of knowledge. What helps a sorcerer live a better life is the strength of being a warrior. (Reality, 214)
