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
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
So he stalked her again. Love makes hunters of us all.
Gregory Maguire
Sorrow has a name, and its name is loneliness. Sorrow has a shape, and its shape is absence. Sorrow is a sickness like any other.
Gregory Maguire
I shall pray for your soul,' promised Nessarose. I shall wait for your shoes,' Elphie answered.
Gregory Maguire
No one is exempt from grief.
