Quote by Charles de Lint

“It's easy to believe in magic when you're young. Anything you couldn't explain was magic then. It didn't matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible - elves probably more so.”

We are only lightly covered with buttoned cloth; and beneath these pavements are shells, bones and silence.”
