More quotes by Charles de Lint
Music’s the soundtrack of my life and has been since I was a teenager. There’s always music. If I’m not playing it, I’m listening to it. With my writing... sometimes it inspires a story, sometimes it highlights something I’m working on, sometimes it simply helps me stay in the narrative mood.
Charles de Lint
Tattoos...are the stories in your heart, written on your skin.
Charles de Lint
The thing with pretending you're in a good mood is that sometimes you can actually trick yourself into feeling better.
Charles de Lint
You've got to find yourself first. Everything else'll follow.
Charles de Lint
Books and music saved me as a teenager because it was through them that I realized that I wasn't alone in my obsessive love for words and music.

When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint
I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.
Charles de Lint
The family we choose for ourselves is more important than the one we were born into that people have to earn our respect and trust, not have it handed to them simply because of genetics.
Charles de Lint
What we take from the spirit world is only a reflection of what lies inside ourselves.
Charles de Lint
If you don't believe that the world has a heart, then you won't hear it beating, you won't think it's alive and you won't consider what you're doing to it.
Charles de Lint
That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
Charles de Lint
The puppet thinks: It's not so much what they make me do as their hands inside me.
Charles de Lint
I can’t imagine it now, but I must’ve been innocent at some time in my life. A baby don’t just get itself born bad, do it?
Charles de Lint
The real problem is, people think life is a ladder, and it's really a wheel.
Charles de Lint
The past scampers like an alley cat through the present, leaving the paw prints of memories scattered helter-skelter.
Charles de Lint
When you're touched by magic, nothing's ever quite the same again. What really makes me sad is all those people who never have the chance to know that touch. They're too busy, or they just don't hold with make-believe, so they shut the door without really knowing it was there to be opened in the first place.
