About This Quote

When we're children and wish on a star, we hope that one day we will reach that star and fly away. With the help of the moving ones, we will grow into our wings and soar with the wind until we reach that star. We may feel that if we wish hard enough on a star, the wish will come true. But when we look up at the stars in the night sky, can we really see them? Can they see us? Can they fly away with our wishes? The answer is simple: no.

The stars don't move. We do. When a wish comes true, it comes because of what you've done to make it happen.
