“Life's an act of magic, too. Claire Hamill sings a line in one of her songs that really sums it up for me: 'If there's no magic, there's no meaning.' 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.” IfsKnowsBelieveSongNaturalLinesSleepWonderMagicMysteryDepthSurfaceHonestlyGalleryAlleysClaireSleeping InVagrantsMonet Author:Charles de Lint

“At a certain age, we have already been struck by love; it no longer develops alone, according to its own mysteries and fateful laws while our hearts stand by startled and passive. We come to its assistanceRecognizing one of its symptoms, we recall, we bring back to life the others. Since we possess its song engraved in its totality within us, we do not need for a woman to tell us the beginning--filled with admiration inspired by beauty--to find the continuation.” NeedsHeartAgeLawCertainSongMysteryExperienceFilledInspiredAdmirationRecallsPassiveSymptomsTotalityContinuationEngraved Author:Marcel Proust
“The song can be a little bit more of the mystery and leave the whole thing open ended. But there's something really gratifying about saying exactly what you mean.” MeanLittlesWholeSongBitsMysteryLittle Bit Author:Jon Foreman
