Charles de Lint Quote

It's my diary, she'd explained. Every mark I've had drawn on my skin connects me to where and who I've been- so I never forget who I am and how I got here.There was humour in the smile she offered him. And you know what the real beauty of it is? Hank had shaken his head. Nobody can take it away.

Primarily a writer of fantasy fiction, he has composed works of urban fantasy, contemporary magical realism, and mythic fiction.
