Gregory Maguire
From torched skyscrapers, men grew wings.
Gregory Maguire
[Puggles] What population signs on willingly for slavery? You mean other than wives? [Glinda]
Gregory Maguire
Small steps to the madhouse still get us there at last
Gregory Maguire
For fun? Maybe evil is an art form.
Gregory Maguire
I mean, evil and boredom. Evil and ennui. Evil and the lack of stimulation. Evil and sluggish blood.
Gregory Maguire
She wasn't afraid of doing good or of resisting evil. She was merely afraid she might not be able to tell the difference.
Gregory Maguire
When the times are a crucible, when the air is full of crisis, those who are the most themselves are the victims.
