Magic
Exists

though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more
than art imitates life.”
―
Oscar Wilde

exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of
the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by
magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we
live.”

Roberts

do it — you will regret both.”

Thoreau, Henry David
“He
was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect

was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement,
flying exultantly under the stars.”

“Our
true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer
us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult

what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.”

“I
walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of
little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I
thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of
those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss
someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if
sledding were always enough, but it isn't.”
―
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
“Then,
one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your

something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't
your own anymore.”
―

on to the important things.”
