More quotes by Juliet Marillier
She had sacrificed her childhood to save her brothers she loved her family above all else, and her spirits yearned to return home once more, to the wild forest and the land of mystic tales and ancient spirits whence he had taken her. That was the place of her heart, and if he loved her, he must let her go.
Juliet Marillier
I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness.
Juliet Marillier
Nobody expects you to exhibit godlike strength, excepting maybe yourself.
Juliet Marillier
Death, of course, should not be feared, but awaited with certain wonder. To die was to step across a threshold into a new world, unknown, unimaginable.
Juliet Marillier
But I believe we all have an inner goodness a little flame that stays alight through the worst of trials.

Trust can be a hard lesson hope still more difficult.
Juliet Marillier
If a man truly loves,....He does not consider the obstacles, the restrictions, the reasons why his choice may be flawed or impratical. He gives no heed to what others may think. His heart has no room for that, for it is filled to the brim with the unutterable truth of his feelings.
Juliet Marillier

The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.
Juliet Marillier
Our strength comes from that magic, from the earth and the sky, from the fire and the water. Fly high, swim deep, give back to the earth what she gives you.
Juliet Marillier

Juliet Marillier
As a novelist, I'm endlessly fascinated by human behavior and interactions.
Juliet Marillier
She seemed fragile like a moonflower – destined to bloom for a single lovely night, and then to fade and fall.
Juliet Marillier
But there is one thing you must remember, if you forget all else. There is no good or evil, save in the way you see the world. There is no dark or light save in your own vision. All changes in the blink of an eyelid yet all remains the same.
Juliet Marillier
More like some small, fierce bird of prey, something with a sharp bite. An owl perhaps, that speaks only when the rest of the world sleeps. Jenny will do well enough.
Juliet Marillier
Why should I be polished and improved like goods for sale? I might not even want to marry! And besides, I have many skills. I can read and write and play the flute and harp. Why should I change to please some man? If he doesn’t like me the way I am, then he can get some other girl for his wife.
Juliet Marillier
In all experience, there is something to be learned. In deepest sorrow, wisdom is found. In the well of despair, hope rises.
Juliet Marillier
Brilliant minds make errors, brave souls falter, kind hearts leave scars. We are none of us perfect, but we're all perfectly human.
