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.
Erin Morgenstern
I think looking forward will be better than looking back.
Erin Morgenstern
I suppose there will never be a lack of things to say, of stories to be told and shared.
Erin Morgenstern
He remembers when he was very small his mother once said she wished happiness and adventure for him. If this does not count as adventure, he is not sure what does.
Erin Morgenstern
It is likely to make us think we are not caged. We cannot feel the bars unless we push against them.
Erin Morgenstern
I cannot let a place that is so important to so many people fade away. Something that is wonder and comfort and mystery all together that they have nowhere else. If you had that, wouldn't you want to keep it?
Erin Morgenstern
How are you managing to keep everyone from aging?” Celia asks after a while. “Very carefully,” Marco answers.
Erin Morgenstern
