Julia stooped to one knee—an awesome sight, given the scale of her divine frame. “Look. This one is very rare… This is a feeling that you had, Quentin,” she said. “Once, a very long time ago. A rare one. This is how you felt when you were eight years old, and you opened one of the Fillory books for the first time, and you felt awe and joy and hope and longing all at once. You felt them very strongly, Quentin. You dreamed of Fillory then, with a power and an innocence that not many people ever experience. That’s where all this began for you. You wanted the world to be better than it was.” (pg. 389) The Magician’s Land (2014) - Lev Grossman
