How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #10
"All power is one in source and end, I think. Years and distances, stars and candles, water and wind and wizardry, the craft in a man's hand and the wisdom in a tree's root: they all arise together." (9.77)
Ged tries to explain magical power to Murre and Yarrow, Vetch's siblings. (Which raises a question: if they're so interested in magic, why doesn't their brother tell them? Oh well, at least this gives us an opportunity to see what Ged thinks.) Now, if you think about it, this is a radically different position than we had in one of the quotes above, where Ged hungered for magical power. At the end of the novel, Ged seems to think his own power has a particular place in the universe – that his power is part of the universe. In other words, he doesn't stand outside the world like a god, but takes part in it like a human being.
