- Using a graphical program is like flirting with your computer; using The Terminal is like whispering instructions in its ear. Graphics hold you at arm's length; Words are more intimate than touch.

- To command anything in the world, the witch needs only discover its True Name. Even magick obeys certain laws: these she uncovers and bends to her will, using Words of power sacred and profane.

- Graphics: finite. The Terminal: infinite.

- The learned adept asked, "Which is the true path --- graphical, terminal, or AI?" The teacher said, "Do everything twice." Upon hearing this, they were enlightened.

- And the Word was made flash, and dwelt among us, and we beheld Its glory, the glory as of the only begotten of The Terminal, full of grace and truth.
