Quotes
Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone. - Charles de Lint
