What if it's the there and not the here that I long for? The wander and not the wait, the magic in the lost feet stumbling down the faraway street and the way the moon never hangs quite the same. ― Tyler Knott Gregson, Chasers of the Light: Poems from the Typewriter Series Image: Full moon … Continue reading Quote for Today: Tyler Knott Gregson

Quote for Today: Isobelle Carmody
The very shape of our dreams defines us. We learn about the world and try out our thoughts and visions in them. Our dreams goad us and drive us and summon and sustain us and when we are old they comfort us. Magic is a kind of dream, and love is a dream, and hope … Continue reading Quote for Today: Isobelle Carmody
Quote for Today: Umberto Eco
But is the unicorn a falsehood? It's the sweetest of animals and a noble symbol.

Quote for Today: Richelle Goodrich
Writers possess magic. It's in their words. They compose phrases as powerful as incantations, creating illusions in the minds of readers.
