"Among those few [magical beings on Earth] there was an hierarchy. Some were more powerful, some less so. At the bottom were the vampires, seedy serial killers from whose population the non-sociopaths had been bred hundreds of generations ago by natural selection." I love this book!

"Magic: it was what happened when the mind met the world, and the mind won for a change." - I love this quote. The Magician King is a great book.
