“Folk in those stories had a lot of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding onto something. That there is some good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.”

“It’s the unique picture of the story that our imagination presents to each of us. It belongs only to us. The author could have done a wonderful job of describing something, setting the scene, letting us see what they see, but what we actually see is for our eyes only.”
― Amanda James, The Midnight Bookshop

“Imagination can be surprising. Perhaps what’s in our head, is as real as you or I.”
― Amanda James, The Midnight Bookshop

“That’s all very nice, but in the end, the truth doesn’t help, because we all have our own version of the truth, don’t we? You have to trust in your beliefs, your imagination, and most of all, your love of a good story and how they enrich our lives. A happy life well lived is our ultimate goal, after all … and in the end, nothing else matters.”
