Quotes 

• Lirio : [to Sara, Bonnie, and Rochelle]  True magic is neither black, nor white - it's both because nature is both. Loving and cruel, all at the same time.

  Lirio : [Bonnie and Rochelle laugh. Sara stares, taking in every word of Lirio's speech, as she continues]  The only good or bad is in the heart of the witch. Life keeps a balance on its own. You understand?

  Rochelle : [giggling]  Not really.

  [Bonnie laughs. Sara continues to listen patiently to Lirio] 

  Lirio : [tone becomes slightly stern]  Well, then understand this: whatever you send out there you get back times three.

  Rochelle : [No longer laughing, but still skeptical, as is Bonnie]  Wait, we didn't read that in any book.

  Lirio : [Matter-of-fact]  No, it's part of a basic spiritual truth. Said in many ways in many faiths: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

• Lirio : You know how to use candles?

  Sarah : Yeah, you light the wick.

  Lirio : [Smiles]  More than that.

• Lirio : You can defeat those who challenge you, but you must surrender yourself to the higher power.

  [Lights candles] 

  Lirio : You must invoke the spirit.

  Sarah : [protesting]  But it made Nancy crazy.

  Lirio : She takes it to a dark place.

  [pause] 

  Lirio : Don't be afraid.

• Lirio : Sarah, you have a tremendous light inside you... more so than any witch I've ever known. You must not be afraid.

  Sarah : [Scared]  I can't control it. I always end up hurting someone.

  Lirio : [reaches down, touches the ring on Sarah's finger]  Do you hear the voice of your mother?

  Sarah : What about her?

  Lirio : She's telling you to be strong. She was a witch too, of course. Didn't you know?

  Sarah : [Shakes head]  No.

• Sarah : I need help to undo a love spell.

  Lirio : [Matter-of-fact]  When you open a flood gate, how can you undo it? You unleash something with a spell. There is no undoing; it must run its course.

  Nancy : You should let him suffer.

  Lirio : It's not for you to judge suffering.

• Lirio : Are you going to pay for those?

  Sarah : Uh-huh.

  Lirio : You're not like your friends.

• Sarah : You know I've never read anything about this stuff before. I mean, I don't follow it.

  Lirio : Maybe you are a natural witch. Your power comes from within.
