More quotes by Erin Morgenstern
She turns her head, Bailey catches her eye, and she smiles at him.

I'm a firm believer that lighting affects mood, and twinkly lights on strings bring something magical to occasions ranging from concerts to weddings, though I'm fond of using them as year-round home decor. There's a reason why they're sometimes called fairy lights. When the night is right, there aren't any strings at all.

He forgets that he was someone's dream once, himself.

How are you managing to keep everyone from aging?” Celia asks after a while. “Very carefully,” Marco answers.
Erin Morgenstern
Taking his time, as though he has all of it in the world, in the universe, from the days when tales meant more than they do now, but perhaps less than they will someday, he draws a breath that releases the tangled knot of words in his heart, and they fall from his lips effortlessly. The circus arrives without warning.

I have absurdly vivid dreams.

You don't have to be a chef or even a particularly good cook to experience proper kitchen alchemy: the moment when ingredients combine to form something more delectable than the sum of their parts.
