Quote by Robert McCammon
I do believe in magic. I was born and raised in a magic time, in a magic town, among magicians. When I was twelve, the words was my magic lantern, and by its green spirit glow I saw the past, the present, and into the future. We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see out destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put in the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God
Summary
's sake. And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our magic. They were afraid of what we might do with our magic, of how it might disrupt their carefully constructed world. So they snuffed it out, stifled it, until we forgot how to believe in magic. But deep down, in the depths of our souls, the magic still lingers, waiting to be rediscovered, waiting to be embraced once again. This quote reminds us that we were born with an innate sense of wonder and possibility, and encourages us to reclaim our belief in the extraordinary and the miraculous.
