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
Happy endings are still endings.
Gregory Maguire
The world unwraps itself to you, again and again as soon as you are ready to see it anew.
Gregory Maguire
Doubt was much more energy efficient than conviction.

Gregory Maguire
[Puggles] What population signs on willingly for slavery? You mean other than wives? [Glinda]
Gregory Maguire
The world was floods above and fire below
Gregory Maguire
For fun? Maybe evil is an art form.
Gregory Maguire
Galinda didn't often stop to consider whether she believed in what she said or not the whole point of conversations was flow.
Gregory Maguire
I wouldn't mind leaving myself behind if I could, but I don't know the way out.
Gregory Maguire
That's the real power of art, I think. Not to chide but to provoke challenge. Otherwise why bother?
Gregory Maguire
I hate to be obvious, added the Scarecrow, but you'd have saved yourself a heap of trouble if you weren't too cheap to invest in a leash, Dorothy.
Gregory Maguire
If you're ever in doubt, throw a pepper in the air. If it fails to come down, you have gone mad, so don't trust in anything.
