Sol Maria

“Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast. Magic is always pushing and drawing and making things out of nothing. Everything is made out of magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden - in all the places.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

“Now I know that if you open the right door at the right time, you might finally find a place where you belong.”
― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

“I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“We notice the silence of men. We depend upon the silence of women.”
― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway
