"The region was in the Snow Country, and there would still be several months of heavy snow before any real break in the weather would come. Nevertheless the New Year's festival served to remind people that there was an end to the long winter." -Village of the Vampire Cat by Lensey Namioka

The Tourist

"The Tourist finds the magic in the thing everyone else has forgot about or thinks are normal. The Tourist finds things amazing and exciting, and maybe he can remind people how amazing and exciting magic things can be." -The Maloneys' Magical Weatherbox by Nigel Quinlan

“Magic!” she muttered. “Learning the ingredients for potions by heart, magic spells, magic symbols; no, thanks, not for me.”

Sensing the Universe

"Uni-sensory perception is sensing the universe. It's not exactly hearing or seeing or feeling, it's more like getting a sense of something, not in the regular way but in a magical way. It's like picking up on nonverbal cues." -The Incredible Magic of Being by Kathryn Erskine
