“Disappointed, are you? No proper end to a story? Well, maybe not. But life don’t end like stories.”
-Nancy Baker – A Terrible Beauty (Penguin Books, 1996)
“The summer stones were rough and warm to the touch. They were not alive, but if they were dead, it was a simple kind of dead: They were only themselves. They needed nothing.”
-Erin Bow – Sorrow’s Knot (Arthur A. Levine Books, 2013)
“Life’s an act of magic, too…. Without magic – or call it wonder, mystery, natural wisdom – nothing has any depth. It’s all just surface. You know: what you see is what you get. I honestly believe there’s more to everything than that, whether it’s a Monet hanging in a gallery or some old vagrant sleeping in an alley.”
-Charles de Lint – In The House of My Enemy In The Very Best of Charles de Lint.
