Being not much of a book reader, I honestly doubted myself if I&#8217;d ever open the book. However, my trip back to LA gave me the opportunity to do just so, and before I knew it, I had completed 3\/4 of the book by the end of the journey. I&#8217;ve finished the book since then, but wanted to share a few quotes that I really liked and you&#8217;ve probably heard of in different forms.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What one does not know, one fears. &#8211; <em>Lady Serret<\/em> (in response to Ged&#8217;s fear of the Terrenon stone)<\/li>\n<li>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&#8217;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 <em>must do<\/em>&#8230; &#8211; <em>Master Summoner<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There was another great quote in regards to the fact that even though you may have power, if you lack the knowledge to control it, it&#8217;s not really any power you can use. So one can be born with great power, but it is knowledge that allows one to use it.<\/p>\n<p><ins datetime=\"2007-12-13T21:13:51+00:00\">UPDATE<\/ins>:<br \/>\nForgot to mention that I had already seen <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s\/ref=nb_ss_gw\/102-7102744-5862569?url=search-alias%3Daps&#038;field-keywords=tales+from+earthsea&#038;x=0&#038;y=0\">Tales From Earthsea<\/a>, a recent animation done by Studio Ghibli. This is the 1st film directed by Miyazaki Goro, son of Miyazaki Hayao. Throughout the book, I would imagine Ged\/Sparrowhawk to be this old man, but in fact I believe in this book, he&#8217;s really around 20 years old. I thought the animation was pretty good, but nowhere close to his father&#8217;s work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Liam got a book when he came to visit me: A Wizard of Earthsea.
