An now the silences come in a single lifetime, in a single year... when species die, leaving a silent space in the world song that can never be filled.

I wouldn't like to live in a world where everything's as cut-and-dried as most people think it is

I've always known and been interested in people who are a little bit off the norm. I like to call attention to the idea that they are there, that they are real people, not invisible.

The fey wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them.

One expected growth, change; without it, the world was less, the well of inspiration dried up, the muses fled.

Well, you know this world isn't perfect.' 'No, you're wrong. This world IS perfect, people just come along and mess it up sometimes.

The faerie represent the beauty we don't see, or even choose to ignore. That's why I'll paint them in junkyards, or fluttering around a sleeping wino. No place or person is immune to spirit. Look hard enough, and everything has a story. Everybody is important."- Jilly Coppercorn
