I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held.
Erin Morgenstern
He forgets that he was someone's dream once, himself.
Erin Morgenstern
The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
Erin Morgenstern
The rain increases and umbrellas sprout like mushrooms amongst the graves.

Erin Morgenstern
I am already married, she remarks to the empty air, twisting the ring on her right hand that covers an sold, distinctive scar.
Erin Morgenstern
I do not see as well without her. I do not hear as well without her. I do not feel as well without her. I would be better off without a hand or a leg than without my sister.
Erin Morgenstern
And then he tells her stories. Myths he learned from his instructor. Fantasies he created himself, inspired by bits and pieces of others read in archaic books with crackling spines.
Erin Morgenstern
I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it.
Erin Morgenstern
The most difficult thing to read is time. Maybe because it changes so many things.
Erin Morgenstern
