...i carry your heart...

"here is the deeper secret nobody knows / (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud / and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows / higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) / and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart // i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)" -e.e. cummings; i carry your heart with me

...a silent parallel world...

"There are people with the same hidden opinions and fantasies and together their thoughts are a silent parallel world where secrets are few." -Winston Rowntree; Virus Comix

...Sphinx without a secret.

"She had a passion for secrecy, but she was merely a Sphinx without a secret." -Oscar Wilde; The Sphinx without a Secret

...watch with glittering eyes...

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." -Roald Dahl

What I do know...

"What I do know is that we've all got our hidden currents, no matter how wide and friendly the river seems. Start casting deep enough and who knows what you'll dredge up." -Charles de Lint; Someplace to Be Flying

But he knew now...

"But he knew now that those who questioned, those who took it all apart trying to find out what it was and what made it tick... they lost out in the end. The magic would always elude them. The mystery would only deepen. Because if it lost its secret, it just wouldn't be the mystery anymore. It would rob the experience of its potency. All you'd have left would be dry dust and the voices of men discussing what it was all about. The quiet, the music, the magic would be gone." -Charles de Lint; Greenmantle

What the heart keeps secret...

"What the heart keeps secret, the mind cannot begin to comprehend." -Unknown
