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
All empires fall eventually. It is the way of things.
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
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
I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it.
Erin Morgenstern
