Gregory Maguire

Gregory Maguire
Forget us, forget us all, it makes no difference now, but don't forget we loved it when we were alive.
Gregory Maguire
Wrong takes an awful long time to be proven, in my experience.
Gregory Maguire
Before catechisms can instill a proper humility, small children know the truth that their own existence has caused the world to bloom into being.
Gregory Maguire
No wonder Wonderland isn't funny to read anymore: We live there full time. We need a break from it.
Gregory Maguire
The future reshapes the memory of the past in the way it recalibrates significance some episodes are advanced, others lose purchase.
Gregory Maguire
Little critters fried like fritters come out crunchy and divine.
Gregory Maguire
