Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between intelligence and critical thinking skills. It suggests that being intelligent does not automatically make someone a skilled thinker, just as having a powerful car does not guarantee effective driving. It implies that intellect alone is not enough, and that the ability to think critically and use one's intelligence effectively is a separate skillset that individuals with different levels of intelligence can possess.

Your average witch is not, by nature, a social animal as far as other witches are concerned. There's a conflict of dominant personalities. There's a group of ringleaders without a ring. There's the basic unwritten rule of witchcraft, which is 'Don't do what you will, do what I say.' The natural size of a coven is one. Witches only get together when they can't avoid it.

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!A farewell, and then forever

Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!A farewell, and then forever!Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,While the star of hope she leaves him?Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me,Dark despair around benights me.

We can't look to the world to restore our worth; we're here to restore our worth to the world. The world outside us can reflect our glory, but it cannot create it. It cannot crown us. Only God can crown us, and he already has.
