“Magic can happen in a car, a warm, intimate magic born of being in an enclosed, particular place and, simultaneously, being nowhere, passing throu. No one leaves her troubles behind, not really, but you can believe you have. You can believe you're in an inbetween space where trouble can't find you. . . .”
“(I)f you do not believe that hearts can bloom suddenly bigger, and that love can open like a flower out of even the hardest places, then I am afraid that for you the road will be long and brown and barren, and you will have trouble finding the light. But if you do believe, then you already know all about magic.”
“Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”
“Love is such a magic thing. It can make you feel like you're floating in the clouds without a trouble in the world.”
“The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd, don't you think?”
“I don't believe in the kind of magic in my books. But I do believe something very magical can happen when you read a good book.”
