“...for life is magic, magic is life, the left-over life we don't even notice we're living.”
― Kate Griffin

“Life is magic.
I knew, without having to ask, what she meant. Life was not the magic of spells or enchantments or sorcery; or, it was, but that was not the point. Life created magic as an accidental by-product, it wasn't, definite article, absolute statement, A=B, magic. Life was magic in a more mundane sense of the word; the act of living being magic all of its own.
This was something we instinctively understood - it simply hadn't occurred to us that it might need explaining.”
― Kate Griffin, A Madness of Angels

“Where there is life, there will be magic; the one generates the other.”
― Kate Griffin, A Madness of Angels

“A small child being dragged to bed peered curiously at me as it passed, then waved. We waved back, not being entirely sure how else to respond to small creatures like that.”
