Nobody expects you to exhibit godlike strength, excepting maybe yourself.
Juliet Marillier
Nothing comes without a price.
Juliet Marillier
My feet will tread soft as a deer in the forest. My mind will be clear as water from the sacred well. My heart will be strong as a great oak. My spirit will spread an eagle's wings, and fly forth.
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
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
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
If a man has to say trust me, Gogu conveyed, it's a sure sign you cannot. Trust him, that is. Trust is a thing you know without words.
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
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
I thought of betrayal and how it came so easily - in a word, a glance, a gesture.
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
After a while, footsteps sounded on the flagstones outside and there was a gentle tap at the door. Of course, one of them would come. So close were we, the seven of us, that no childhood injury went unnoticed, no slight, real or imagined, went unaddressed, no hurt was endured without comfort.
Juliet Marillier
My world was changing, and I was not ready for it.
Juliet Marillier
The world is simple, I think, in its essence. Life, death, love, hate. Desire, fulfillment. Magic.
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
My advice to aspiring writers of fantasy trilogies or series is that each book needs two main plots. There's the 'big story', the over-arching grand plot of the entire series, and there is the complete-in-itself, one-book plot.
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
His thoughts inhabit a different plane from those of ordinary men the simplest interpretation of that is to call him crazy.
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
The most powerful weapon is hope.
