Gregory Maguire
If magic was present, it moved under the skin of the world, beneath the ability of human eyes to catch sight of it.
Gregory Maguire
She is no longer I, she is too long ago, she is only she.
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
I do love to sing. Had I a longer set of thigh bones and a sweeter voice, I should have loved to be a performer.
Gregory Maguire
Remember this: Nothing is written in the stars. Not these stars, nor any others. No one controls your destiny.
Gregory Maguire
I never write a book unless I can't help it. Something has to bother me, like a mosquito, until I have to do something to relieve the itch.

Not an ugly color, Nanny thought. Just not a human color.
