“Magic is in all of us and in everyone who believes they can make beautiful things happen. It’s in a first kiss, in fireworks, running with your girlfriend down the beach at midnight, screaming into the sky. It’s falling in love and falling down the rabbit hole. It’s in your dreams and imagination.

We can all use magic.”

“The best things said come last. People will talk for hours saying nothing much and then linger at the door with words that come with a rush from the heart” ~Alan Alda

“In this country American means white. Everybody else has to hyphenate.” ~Toni Morrison

“In eras past, mainstream culture was blandly, blindly complacent, so underground music was angry and dissatisfied. But now, mainstream culture isn’t complacent, it’s stupid and angry; underground culture reacts by becoming smarter, more serene. That’s not wimpy—it’s powerful and productive.” ~Michael Azerrad in Paste, February 2010 issue
