Everybody's got the potential for great good and great wrong in them, but it's the choices we make that define who we really are Picture Quote #1

Lies were like having a pregnant rabbit. One day you had one, but before you knew it, there were rabbits all over the place Picture Quote #1

I can't imagine it now, but I must've been innocent at some time in my life. A baby don't just get itself born bad, do it? Picture Quote #1

Every book tells a different story to the person who reads it. How they perceive that book will depend on who they are. A good book reflects the reader, as much as it illuminates the author's text Picture Quote #1

The trouble with magic is that it never really lets go. If you work one magic to undo another, you might end up with a bigger problem than you had in the first place Picture Quote #1

Wondering's healthy. Broadens the mind. Opens you up to all sorts of stray thoughts and possibilities Picture Quote #1

Magic lies in between things, between the day and the night, between yellow and blue, between any two things Picture Quote #1

The family we choose for ourselves is more important than the one we were born into; that people have to earn our respect and trust, not have it handed to them simply because of genetics Picture Quote #1

Most times we only see things for the way we are. But we're good at lying to ourselves. Sometimes we need somebody who's not living in our skin to point out how things really are Picture Quote #1

They have alls these laws and social boundaries to keep the worst of them in check. The problem is, villains and bullies just ignore that kind of thing Picture Quote #1

All forests are one... They are all echoes of the first forest that gave birth to Mystery when the world began Picture Quote #1

The few wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them Picture Quote #1

I think you’re all mad. But that’s part and parcel of being an artistic genius, isn’t it? Picture Quote #1

It is so easy for your people to forget that everything has a spirit, that all are equal. That magic and mystery are a part of your lives, not something to store away in a child’s bedroom, or to use as an escape from your lives Picture Quote #1

Most children are given far too much praise for their early drawings, so much so that they rarely learn the ability to refine their first crude efforts the way their early attempts at language are corrected Picture Quote #1

As children, we come into the world with a natural desire to both speak and draw. Society makes sure that we learn language properly, right from the beginning, but art is treated as a gift of innate genius, something we either have or don’t Picture Quote #1

How hard would it be to ask children what they see in their heads? How big should the house be in comparison to the family standing in front of it? What is it about the anatomy of the people that doesn’t look right? Then let them try it again. Teach them to learn how to see and ask questions Picture Quote #1

You wouldn’t want any creative process to lose its sense of fun and adventure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take it seriously as well Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been aware of the otherworld, of spirits that exist in that twilight place that lies in the corner of our eyes, of fairie and stranger things still that we spy only when we’re not really paying attention to them, whispers and flickering shadows, here one moment, gone the instant we turn our heads for a closer look. But I couldn’t always find them. And when I did, for a long time I thought they were only this excess of imagination that I carry around inside me, that somehow it was leaking out of me into the world Picture Quote #1
