This isn't the best tarot quote out there. But it's in the top ten.

I've been meaning to post this here for awhile, but only just got round to it.

Copyright to Comet Jant Shira and to Ms. Steph Swainston:

"The cards..." I swigged my drink. "The cards don't tell the future. How could they? The future isn't set. These cards tell you about yourself in the present. All you need to know, to predict the future as accurately as possible...all you ever can know, is yourself right now. Most people don't know their own character well and these cards help you reflect. Then for the future, you extrapolate. Go ahead and make the future up-your character will be the main factor."
