The most difficult thing to read is time. Maybe because it changes so many things.
Erin Morgenstern
Where do you get your ideas? people ask. Sometimes they’re at the bottoms of cups of tea. Sometimes they’re lurking in my shower. Sometimes they’re waiting patiently in glass cases in museums.
Erin Morgenstern
You believe you could not live with the pain. Such pain is not lived with. It is only endured. I am sorry.

When you meet someone new who instantly gets you, your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview, even if theirs are different - and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes, yes, of course you should get another round of drinks.

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. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.
Erin Morgenstern
You look like a ghost, Bailey says. He can think of no better way to describe it. You appear the same way to me, so which of us is real?
Erin Morgenstern
We are two different people, Ethan. Just because you could never decide which one of us you were in love with does not make us interchangeable.
Erin Morgenstern
Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that.
Erin Morgenstern
The night that seemed endless hours before is now slipping through your fingers, ticking by as it falls into the past and pushes you towards the future.
Erin Morgenstern
And now, I'm a best selling author, a different sort of fairy tale that I still sometimes wonder when I'll wake up from.
Erin Morgenstern
Natural talent is a questionable phenomenon. Inclination perhaps, but innate ability is extremely rare.
Erin Morgenstern
I don't always write in order, so composing multi-book stories could get complicated.
Erin Morgenstern
Esse quam videri, Celia says. To be, rather than to seem.
Erin Morgenstern
Only the ship is made of books, its sails thousands of overlapping pages, and the sea it floats upon is dark black ink.
Erin Morgenstern
Chandresh relishes reactions. Genuine reactions, not mere polite applause. He often values the reactions over the show itself. A show without an audience is nothing, after all. In the response of the audience, that is where the power of performance lives.
Erin Morgenstern
And there are never really endings, happy or otherwise. Things keep going on, they overlap and blur, your story is part of your sister's story is part of many other stories, and there is no telling where any of them may lead.
