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

I've always known and been interested in people who are a little bit off the norm. I like to call attention to the idea that they are there, that they are real people, not invisible.

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

Not everything has to mean something. Some things just are.

A long time ago a bunch of people reached a general consensus as to what's real and what's not and most of us have been going along with it ever since.

Witchery is merely a word for what we are all capable of.

As far as I'm concerned, the only difference between fact and what most people call fiction is about fifteen pages in the dictionary.

It's good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there's more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.

Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.

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