Evil Quote by Gerald Morris
“Once she exclaimed, "But I always thought that sorceresses were evil!" "What do you mean 'evil'?" Lynet has never considered the question. "You know," she said, after a moment, "unfriendly to people." "People!" repeated Morgana derisively. "As if humans were all that mattered. Just once I'd like to see people judged by how friendly they are to sorceresses.”

![“Of course it's juggling,” the man in motley was saying [...] “You know what your problem is, Sir Grenall? You've been seduced by the lure of spectacle. Sure, I could juggle three or four balls and use two hands, and that would be very impressive, but then what would I do after that? Five balls?…” quote by Gerald Morris](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/7bd/gerald-morris-23609_art_of-course-it-s-juggling-the-man-in-motle_387237.jpg)
