Not in the way that one smiles at a random member of the audience when one is in the middle of performing circus tricks with unusually talented kittens but in the way that one smiles when one recognizes someone they have not seen in some time.
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
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
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
You told me love was fickle and fleeting.
Erin Morgenstern
We cannot go backward,' Marco says. 'A great deal is not how it used to be.
Erin Morgenstern
I think looking forward will be better than looking back.
Erin Morgenstern
Life takes us to unexpected places sometimes. The future is never set in stone, remember that.
Erin Morgenstern
