More quotes by Juliet Marillier
I thought of betrayal and how it came so easily - in a word, a glance, a gesture.
Juliet Marillier
As for me, I had found love, and that was a gift worth suffering for.
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
My world was changing, and I was not ready for it.
Juliet Marillier
I had learned how it felt to want more than the sweet touch of hand to cheek or lips to palm, more than a kiss, more than an embrace. I was starting to discover that it is not only the mind that understands love, but also the body.
Juliet Marillier
This is a long goodbye, yet not time enough. I have no aptitude for this. I cannot learn this. I would hold on, and hold on, until my hands clutch at emptiness.
Juliet Marillier
She seemed fragile like a moonflower – destined to bloom for a single lovely night, and then to fade and fall.
Juliet Marillier
Trust can be a hard lesson hope still more difficult.
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
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
a tree is never just a tree, it is bigger and deeper and wiser than a girl like you will ever be.
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
You are... you're like a beating heart. A glowing lamp. I've never met anyone like you before.
Juliet Marillier
Good and bad shade and sunlight, there's but a hair's breath between them. It's all one in the end.
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
As a novelist, I'm endlessly fascinated by human behavior and interactions.
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
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
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
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.
