Chocolat - Pg 172

   "And what--if it isn't an impertinent question--what do you believe?"   Magic carpet rides, rune magic, Ali Baba and visions of the Holy Mother, astral travel and the future in dregs of a glass of red wine...   Florida? Disneyland? The Everglades? What about it, chérie? What about it, hein?   Buddha. Frodo's journey into Mordor. The transubstantiation of the sacrament. Dorothy and Toto. The Easter Bunny. Space aliens. The Thing in the closet. The Resurrection and the Life at the turn of a card... I've believed them all at one time or another. Or pretended to. Or pretended not to.    Whatever you like, Mother. Whatever makes you happy.    And now? What do I believe right now? "I believe that being happy is the only important thing," I told him at last.    Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.
