Knowledge and Wisdom is the Real Power

"Oh no, no, no. Certainly not. That world has another Merlin who takes care of it. A different version of the story, you know. I tend to think it best not to interfere."

"Well of course I admire them all for what makes them each special, and they truly are such bright young ladies. I could hardly choose one to admire the most! I believe, however, that I've spent the most time around dear Snow White. She was the one that started it all, and as the first princess whose story was told, Snow White holds a special place in my heart. She truly possesses such a rare light that reaches out and warms all who come to bask in it."

“Oh heavens no! She’s a professional associate of mine and a good friend to boot!”

“Well, it’s hard to say why anyone is the way that they are. I do suspect if they’d had a mother more caring and compassionate than Lady Tremaine, they likely would have behaved better. Though that’s not an excuse for how they treated Cinderella. Certainly I think those two girls might have benefitted from a bit of schooling under my tutelage. After all, those with a more developed intellect tend to be more well rounded and empathetic as a result.”

“FRIENDS? With MIM? What sort of disreputable character do you take me for to even consider that I might fraternize with that wretched old witch? All she wants is to destroy me!”

“Well, Cinderella did receive help. The kind mice and animals of the chateau that she befriended helped her and so did the Fairy Godmother, arriving at just the right moment to make a miracle happen that could change her life for the better. It is quite unfortunate the situation that poor girl was in, but magic can only do so much. We all have to help ourselves too, and that’s just what dear Cinderella did.”

"Certainly! She's a curious and inquisitive girl, and that's a rare gift that's worth a great deal if it can be put in the right direction! I often find her enthusiasm for things I've taken for granted to be just marvelous. A good reminder that there's magic all around us!"

"I've always believed that true love is the most powerful magic there is. It's like a flame that sparks into existence when the right conditions are met. We can certainly observe it and predict it when the signs are clear, but it's also known to spring up in the unlikeliest of places. Even with my powers of sight, I can't always see how the stories will end. You see, love, my dear, has the power to change even destiny itself."

"Well, I should rather not play favorites. The dear ladies would be quite grumpy with me, I fear. Besides, they've all something remarkable about them! Flora is so wonderfully good at taking charge and using her head, Fauna is the kindest soul you'll ever meet, and dear Merryweather has a spring in her step that makes life all the more exciting! Together, they're rather like the primary colors mixing together to show all the shades that make our world beautiful!"
