Stephen R. Lawhead Quotes

Power As I Possess Is Not, As Many Believe, Given In Exchange For A Soul. To Hear The Ignorant Speak, One Would Think It Is Merely A Simple Bargain, An Exchange Of Vows, Perhaps, And The Power One Seeks Simply Flows From The Fingertips For The Asking. But No, It Is Not So Easy As That! The Truly Great Gifts Are Not Gifts At All, But Treasures Obtained After Long And Difficult Searching, Prizes Won Only Through Hard-fought Victories Over Relentless, Near-invincible Adversaries. [ ... ]
The Ignorant Speak Of Hidden Arts, But They Are Not Hidden. Indeed, There Is Nothing Secret About Them At All; They Are Freely Open And Available To Any Who Would Pursue Them. Ah, But The Price! The Price Is Nothing Less Than The Devotion Of An Entire Life. So Perhaps The Simple-minded Are Right, After All, In Thinking Of The Acquisition Of Power As A Pact In Which The Soul Is Bartered. There Is No Other Way.
- Morgian
