You know, I do believe in magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds, read clouds and see our destiny in a grain of sand. But we get that magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out and combed out. We are put on a straight and narrow path and told to be responsible. Told to grow up. Told to act our age. You know why we get told that? Because the people are scared of our wildness and youth. The magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they had allowed to wither within themselves.
-Robert R. McCammon
