Practical Magic Quotes

“Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside me an emptiness that, at times seems to burn. I think if you lifted my heart to your ear, probably you could hear the ocean. And the moon tonight, there's a circle around it. A sign of trouble not far behind. I have this dream of being whole. Of not going to sleep each night, wanting. But still, sometimes when the wind is warm or the crickets sing I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for. I just want someone to love me. I want to be seen. I don't know. Maybe I've had my happiness..”
― Eve Hemming, Scatterlings- A Tapestry of Afri-Expat Tales

― Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic

“Sometimes the most dangerous thing of all in matters of love was to be granted your heart's desire.”
