That's the thing with magic. You've got to know it's still here, all around us, or it just stays invisible for you.
Dreams Underfoot (1993)
She’s always so ready to believe anything that anyone tells her, so long as it’s magical.
Well, I believe in magic, too, but it’s the magic that can turn a caterpillar into a butterfly, the natural wonder and beauty of the world that’s all around me. I can’t believe in some dreamland being real.
Dreams Underfoot (1993)

The Little Country (1991)
