“Of course it’s happening inside your head, Harry, why should that mean that it’s not real?”

– Albus Dumbledore

Keep it yours

“It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”

– Martha Graham
