Charles de Lint

I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.

The road leading to a goal does not separate you from the destination; it is essentially a part of it.

The few wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them.

Remember the quiet wonders. The world has more need of them than it has for warriors.

I think you're all mad. But that's part and parcel of being an artistic genius, isn't it?

When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.

The thing with pretending you're in a good mood is that sometimes you can.

Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?

Stone walls confine a tinker; cold iron binds a witch; but a musician's music can never be fettered, for it lives first in her heart and mind.
