More quotes by Gregory Maguire
I am a forgettable leaf on a tree.
Gregory Maguire
Starlight and comet tails burned the tips of endless grass below into hammered silver. Like thousands of tapers in the chapel, just blown out but still glowing. If one could drown in the grass...it might be the best way to die.
Gregory Maguire
It appears history is going to keep happening, despite our hopes for retirement.
Gregory Maguire
I wouldn't mind leaving myself behind if I could, but I don't know the way out.
Gregory Maguire
The wickedness of men is that their power breeds stupidity and blindness.
Gregory Maguire
Notice, notice let noticing take the place of screaming.
Gregory Maguire
Cross a man and you struggle, one of you wins, you adjust and go on - or you lie there dead. Cross a woman and the universe is changed, once again, for cold anger requires an eternal vigilance in all matters of slight and offense
Gregory Maguire
I shall pray for your soul,' promised Nessarose. I shall wait for your shoes,' Elphie answered.
Gregory Maguire
She assumes that skill will guide her fingertips, that shapely lines will uncoil out of the pencil the moment she starts. Surely talent is a thing curled deep inside, just waiting to be exercised, and at the slightest invitation it will stretch, shake itself, make itself known? Talent, it seems, is not so insistent.
Gregory Maguire
The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.
Gregory Maguire
I hate New Year's Eve. One more chance to remember that you haven't yet done what you wanted. And to pretend it doesn't matter.
Gregory Maguire
Approval is overrated...Approval and disapproval alike satisfy those who deliver it more than those who receive it. I don't care for approval, and I don't mind doing without.
Gregory Maguire
Small steps to the madhouse still get us there at last
Gregory Maguire
I mean, evil and boredom. Evil and ennui. Evil and the lack of stimulation. Evil and sluggish blood.
Gregory Maguire
The more civilized we become, the more horrendous our entertainments.
Gregory Maguire
Such silly things, children -- and so embarrassing -- because they keep changing themselves out of shame, out of a need to be loved or something. While animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do.
Gregory Maguire
Behold the male beast roaring in the jungle for his mate, said Elphaba. See how the female beast giggles behind a shrub while she organizes her face to say, Pardon dear, did you say something?
Gregory Maguire
To read, even in the half-dark, is also to call the lost forward.
Gregory Maguire
I never use the words HUMANIST or HUMANITARIAN, as it seems to me that to be human is to be capable of the most heinous crimes in nature.
Gregory Maguire
Light will blind us in time, but what we learn in the dark can see us through.
