More quotes by Charles de Lint
Every time we fix something that broken, whether it's a car engine or a broken heart, that an act of magic. And what makes it magic is that we choose to create or help, just as we can choose to harm.
Charles de Lint
In the dark attics of our minds, all times mingle.
Charles de Lint
Wondering’s healthy. Broadens the mind. Opens you up to all sorts of stray thoughts and possibilities.
Charles de Lint
Children are the brightest treasures we bring forth into this world, but too large a percentage of the population continues to treat them as inconveniences and nuisances, when they're not treating them as possessions or toys.
Charles de Lint
As children, we come into the world with a natural desire to both speak and draw. Society makes sure that we learn language properly, right from the beginning, but art is treated as a gift of innate genius, something we either have or don't.
Charles de Lint
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
Magic lies in between things, between the day and the night, between yellow and blue, between any two things.
Charles de Lint

Charles de Lint
Our lives are stories, and the stories we have to give to each other are the most important. No one has a story too small and all are of equal stature. We each tell them in different ways, through different mediums—and if we care about each other, we'll take the time to listen.
Charles de Lint
Don't forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you have to tell.
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.
Charles de Lint
By enlarging your knowledge of things, you will find your knowledge of self is enlarged.
Charles de Lint
Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning.
Charles de Lint
I'm not Chinese. I thrive in interesting times.
Charles de Lint
Don't start brooding about that, too, she says. Everybody's got a piece of stranger inside them. It's what lets us surprise ourselves and keeps things interesting. -Lupita
Charles de Lint
We call them faerie. We don't believe in them. Our loss.
Charles de Lint
I hate the thought of her being forced into a box that doesn't fit her. Of having her wings cut off, her sight blinded, her hearing muted, her voice stilled.
Charles de Lint
One cannot seek to uphold honor in a being that has none.
Charles de Lint
It is important to know what a person was. But it's more important to know what they are now.
Charles de Lint
There's never an easy route to the things that matter.
