More quotes by 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
As for religious faith, a lack of it shouldn't stop us from doing good deeds for their own sake.
Juliet Marillier
The future was in our own hands. If we wanted a world where such things were possible, it was for us to make it.
Juliet Marillier
You don't like it that I am the one you need to keep the wolf from the door that comes as no surprise. But I am the one you have. At some point we'll both have to risk telling the truth.
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
Because if I see you defeated, then I think I will see Alban defeated, and if that happens, none of us can go on. To guard you is to guard the heart of this land of ours.
Juliet Marillier
I wonder how it takes you, that moment when everything turns to shadows. - Somerled.
Juliet Marillier
And as I watched him, I knew that in every dark night there was, somewhere, a small light burning that could never be quenched.
Juliet Marillier
The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.
Juliet Marillier
A wonder tale can be truer than true, I said. I had learned (...) that the deepest kind of truth can be found in the strangest and wildest of stories. One may not meet a fire-breathing dragon on the way to the well. One may not encounter an army of toothed snakes in the woodshed. That does not make the wisdom in those tales any less real.
Juliet Marillier
Don't you long for something different to happen, something so exciting and new it carries you along with it like a great tide, something that lets your life blaze and burn so the whole world can see it?
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 thought of betrayal and how it came so easily - in a word, a glance, a gesture.
Juliet Marillier
There was so much of beauty here: the neat, small tracks of a foraging creature, stoat or marten the inticate tracery of a skeleton leaf, still clinging vainly to its parent tree as, little by little, time stripped it of its substance, leaving only the delicate remembrance of what it had been.
Juliet Marillier
She seemed fragile like a moonflower – destined to bloom for a single lovely night, and then to fade and fall.
Juliet Marillier
Wake the sleeper must, and confront his fears, or risk being lost in the dark places of the mind forever.
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
Come, dear heart. Lean on me and let us walk this path together.
Juliet Marillier
Nobody expects you to exhibit godlike strength, excepting maybe yourself.
Juliet Marillier
Hope is such a tenuous quality. To feel it and then to be denied what one most longs for ... Better, surely, not to hope at all, than to open the heart to a hope that is impossible.
Juliet Marillier
