More quotes by Gregory Maguire
Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?
Gregory Maguire
Evil is an act, not an appetite. How many haven't wanted to slash the throat of some boor across the dining room table? Present company excepted of course. Everyone has the appetite. If you give in to it, it, that act is evil. The appetite is normal.
Gregory Maguire
And there the wicked witch stayed for a long long time.' Did she ever come out?' Not yet.
Gregory Maguire
I wouldn't mind leaving myself behind if I could, but I don't know the way out.

Gregory Maguire
To look into the mirror is to see the future, in blood and rubies.
Gregory Maguire
She dreamed of leaving, but she had too little exposure to the world to imagine where to go.
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
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
The future reshapes the memory of the past in the way it recalibrates significance some episodes are advanced, others lose purchase.
Gregory Maguire
For fun? Maybe evil is an art form.
Gregory Maguire
As long as people are going to call you lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.
Gregory Maguire
One never learns how the witch became wicked, or whether that was the right choice for her~is it ever the right choice? Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil?
Gregory Maguire
There may be no city in the clouds, but dreaming of it can enliven the spirit.
Gregory Maguire
The colossal might of wickedness: how we love to locate it massively elsewhere. But so much of it comes down to what each one of us does between breakfast and bedtime.
