More quotes by Juliet Marillier
Wake the sleeper must, and confront his fears, or risk being lost in the dark places of the mind forever.
Juliet Marillier
Nothing comes without a price.
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
Water and stone Flesh and bone Night and morn Rose and thorn Tree and wind Heart and mind
Juliet Marillier
You cannot poison what is between us with your foul words. She is my light in the darkness and Johnny is my pathway ahead.
Juliet Marillier
The most powerful weapon is hope.
Juliet Marillier
With respect, said Red, and his voice had gone so quiet people hushed each other to hear him, my tale is yet unfinished you should hear me out. And it is her answer I have come to hear, not yours.
Juliet Marillier
Trust can be a hard lesson hope still more difficult.
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
I thought of betrayal and how it came so easily - in a word, a glance, a gesture.
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
But I believe we all have an inner goodness a little flame that stays alight through the worst of trials.
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
Eat of my deep earth, drink of my living streams, for I am your Mother. Your heart is my wild drum, your breath my eternal song. If you would live, dance with me!
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
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
My daughter, I said blankly. I see. Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought it took a man, as well as a woman, to make a child. Is this infant's father to be a crab, or a seagull maybe? Or were you planning to shipwreck some likely sailor on my doorstep, so I can make convenient use of him?
Juliet Marillier
Real life is not quite as it is in stories. In the old tales, bad things happen, and when the tale has unfolded and come to its triumphant conclusion, it is as if the bad things had never been. Life is not as simple as that, not quite.
Juliet Marillier
The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.
Juliet Marillier
For indeed you have a choice. You can flee and hide, and wait to be found. You can live out your days in terror, without meaning. Or you can take the harder choice, and you can save them.
