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

It's good to have mysteries. It reminds us that there's more to the world than just making do and having a bit of fun.

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

The problem with children is that you have to put up with their parents.
