More quotes by Erin Morgenstern

It’s said that All Hallows’ Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin - and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own.

Erin Morgenstern
Most maidens are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves in my experience, at least the ones worth something, in any case.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
Erin Morgenstern
Marco knows he does not have the time to push her away, so he pulls her close, burying his face in her hair, his bowler hat torn from his head by the wind....Trust me, Celia whispers in his ear, and he stops fighting it, forgetting everything but her.
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.
Erin Morgenstern
Esse quam videri, Celia says. To be, rather than to seem.
Erin Morgenstern
They say it's darkest before the dawn, but it also tend to be quietest, and the quiet lets you hear yourself better.
Erin Morgenstern
I paint very messy. I throw paint around. So when I let myself do the same sort of thing with my writing, and I would just write and write and write and revise, that's when I found my rhythm in writing.
