“Although in truth it seems to me that it’s not the world that’s small, only our time in it.”
― Alice McDermott, Absolution

“I dedicate this book to the Muggles who got me here.”
― Tom Felton, Beyond the Wand: The Magic & Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard

“To this day I never know which version of myself I’m going to wake up to. It can happen that the smallest chores or decisions—brushing my teeth, hanging up a towel, should I have tea or coffee—overwhelm me. Sometimes I find the best way to get through the day is by setting myself tiny, achievable goals that take me from one minute to the next. If you sometimes feel like that, you are not alone, and I urge you to talk about it to someone. It’s easy to bask in the sun, not so easy to enjoy the rain. But one can’t exist without the other. The weather always changes. Feelings of sadness and happiness deserve equal mental screen time.”
― Tom Felton, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard

“Emma has taught me so many valuable lessons over the years, most importantly: don’t always follow the herd, never underestimate the power of a woman and, whatever you do, keep quacking.”
― Tom Felton, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard
