The quote on the notebook is inspired by Albus Dumbledore from the Harry Potter series. Below is the quote that inspires the design of this notebook.

So, said Dumbledore, slipping off the desk to sit on the floor with Harry, you, like hundreds before you, have discovered the delights of the Mirror of Erised. I didn’t know it was called that, Sir. But I expect you’ve realized by now what it does? It — well — it shows me my family – And it showed your friend Ron himself as head boy. How did you know –? I don’t need a cloak to become invisible, said Dumbledore gently.  Now, can you think what the Mirror of Erised shows us all? Harry shook his head.

Let me explain. The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised like a normal mirror, that is, he would look into it and see himself exactly as he is. Does that help? Harry thought. Then he said slowly, It shows us what we want… whatever we want…Yes and no, said Dumbledore quietly. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge nor truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.
