Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect. – Luna Lovegood
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. — Roald Dahl
