There are neither better nor worse; each one is as good as the other; and all are good when they suffer or when they love.

The nuisance is that it seems you mustn't love more than one.... Tell me, though, is that true, or is it only one of the things people say to children just to keep them quiet?
LIGHT
No, it's true. When you love many, that merely shows that you haven't yet found the one whom you were to love.
TYLTYL
But, after all, you, who know everything and see everything, must know better than I and can tell me what I ought to do.
LIGHT
No, dear, that is beyond me, beyond the range of my sight. It is for this very reason that we are going to consult those who do know; and they are near at hand, because it is in you that they live. We seem to be taking a great journey: that is an illusion; we are not going outside yourself and all our adventures are happening within you.... But I hear your little friends. Where is your green hat?
