Spirits in the Wires Quotes

“I watched the people passing below, each of them a story, each story part of somebody else's, all of it connected to the big story of the world. People weren't islands, so far as I was concerned. How could they be, when their stories kept getting tangled up in everybody else's?”
― Charles de Lint, Spirits in the Wires

“You can’t—sometimes I think you shouldn’t even try to—change people’s minds. It just gets their backs up. Better to put the information out and let them deal with it in their own way, on their own time.” “And if they don’t take the time to assimilate the information?” Suzi asked. “You conduct your own life as a positive example. Always remain open-minded.”
― Charles de Lint, Spirits in the Wires
