More quotes by Gregory Maguire
There were people everywhere but no one was mine, and I was no one's.
Gregory Maguire
I may not be sure if monsters exist, but I’d rather live my life in doubt than be persuaded by a real experience of one.
Gregory Maguire
For fun? Maybe evil is an art form.
Gregory Maguire
When the times are a crucible, when the air is full of crisis, those who are the most themselves are the victims.
Gregory Maguire
My first job was scooping ice cream at Friendly's in Albany, New York. I hated the work, most of my colleagues, and the uniform, and I more or less lost my taste for ice cream permanently.
Gregory Maguire
So let my hands and my face make their way in this world, let my hungry eyes see, my tongue taste.
Gregory Maguire
Light will blind us in time, but what we learn in the dark can see us through.
Gregory Maguire
Don't wish,said Rain, don't start. Wishing only...

Gregory Maguire
The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.
Gregory Maguire
Birds know themselves not to be at the center of anything, but at the margins of everything. The end of the map. We only live where someone's horizon sweeps someone else's. We are only noticed on the edge of things but on the edge of things, we notice much.
Gregory Maguire

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.
Gregory Maguire
All our lives are activity without meaning we burrow ratlike into life and we squirm ratlike through it and ratlike we are flung into our graves at the end. Now and then, why shouldn't we hear a voice of prophecy.
Gregory Maguire
Just follow that one road the whole time!... I hope they don't get lost, I'm so bad at giving directions.
Gregory Maguire
It's the only condition I know. Bitter Love, Loneliness, contempt for corruption, blind hope. It's where I live. A permanent state of bereavement. This is nothing new.
Gregory Maguire
The wickedness of men is that their power breeds stupidity and blindness.
Gregory Maguire
Her sister's shoes. They sparkeled even in the darkening afternoon. They sparkeled like yellow diamonds, and embers of blood and thorny stars.
Gregory Maguire
Approval is overrated...Approval and disapproval alike satisfy those who deliver it more than those who receive it. I don't care for approval, and I don't mind doing without.
