“My father taught me allot” Elphaba said slowly. “he was very well educated indeed. He taught me to read and write and to think. But not enough. I just think, like our teachers, that if ministers are effective they are good at asking questions that get you to think. I don’t think they are supposed to have the answers. Not necessarily.”

“Wisdom is not the understanding of the mystery, she said to herself not for the first time. Wisdom is accepting that mystery is beyond understanding. That’s what makes it mystery.”
Son Of A Witch

“In our house we profess to belive that the Unnamed God has mad us in its likeness and image, and this should have enlarged us to be like the Unnamed God. I fear that in the Emerald City they have remae the Unnamed God in their image, and that has belittled and betrayed the enemy. Can the Unnamed God be belittled you ask. No, of course not. But the deity can go unrecognized and return to mystery”
