More quotes by Juliet Marillier

Juliet Marillier
He and I…we share a bond. Not love, exactly. It goes beyond that. He is mine as surely as sun follows moon across the sky. Mine before ever I knew he existed. Mine until death and beyond.
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
Become my friend and you embrace a nightmare.
Juliet Marillier
As for me, I had found love, and that was a gift worth suffering for.
Juliet Marillier
You may be your own best helper, if you choose the right path.
Juliet Marillier
The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.
Juliet Marillier
Trust is a thing you know without words.
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.
Juliet Marillier
There is no truth on this island of yours. Rather, there are as many truths as there are stars in the sky and every one of them different.
Juliet Marillier
Come, dear heart. Lean on me and let us walk this path together.
Juliet Marillier
Nothing comes without a price.
