Neil Gaiman
- Neverwhere
There are four simple ways for the observant to tell Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar apart: first, Mr. Vandemar is two and a half heads taller than Mr. Croup; second, Mr. Croup has eyes of a faded china blue, while Mr. Vandemar's eyes are brown; third, while Mr. Vandemar fashioned the rings he wears on his right hand out of the skulls of four ravens, Mr. Croup has no obvious jewelery; fourth, Mr. Croup likes words, while Mr. Vandemar is always hungry. Also, they look nothing at all alike.

- White Gold Wielder
And he who wields white, wild magic gold is a paradox; for he is everything and nothing, hero and fool, potent, helpless. And with one word of truth or treachery, he will save or damn the earth, because he is mad and sane, cold and passionate, lost and found.
