Erin Morgenstern
A woman I should like to think I know rather well and a woman I had always considered a mystery, are in fact the same person.
Erin Morgenstern
The circus looks abandoned and empty. But you think perhaps you can smell caramel wafting through the evening breeze, beneath the crisp scent of the autumn leaves. A subtle sweetness at the edges of the cold.

I dont think there's anything wrong with being a dreamer. There is not. But dreams have ways of turning into nightmares.
Erin Morgenstern
Memories begin to creep forward from hidden corners of your mind. Passing disappointments. Lost chances and lost causes. Heartbreaks and pain and desolate, horrible loneliness. Sorrows you thought long forgotten mingle with still-fresh wounds.
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
