話語－力量與道路

"You thought, as a boy, that a mage is one who can do anything. So I thought, once. So did we all.
And the truth is that as a man's real power grows and his knowledge widens, ever the way he can follow grows narrower: until at last he chooses nothing, but does only and wholly what he must do...'

「你還年幼，以為法師無所不能。我以前也這樣認為，我們每個人都曾經有那種想法。
但事實是，一個人的力量若增強，知識若拓寬，他得以依循的道路反而變窄。到最後他什麼都不挑揀，全心全力從是必需做的事…」
