Everybody's got a true home — maybe not where they're living, but where their heart lives. - Charles de Lint

When you’re invisible, no one can see that you’re different.

"The thing to remember when you're writing," he said, " is, it's not whether or not what you put on paper is true. It's whether it wakes a truth in your reader. I don't care what literary device you might use, or belief systems you tap into — if you can make a story true for the reader, if you can give them a glimpse into another way of seeing the world, or another way that they can cope with their problems, then that story is a succes."

That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
