Peter S. Beagle
Sing to me, she said. That would be valiant, to raise your voice in this dark, lonely place, and it will be useful as well.

It may not seem a hero's task, but I would be glad of it.

Peter S. Beagle
I am infected with life and will die of it in time.
Peter S. Beagle
But I'm always dreaming, even when I'm awake it is never finished. -the Lady Amalthea, from The Last Unicorn
Peter S. Beagle
- and you are truly human now. You can love, and fear, and forbid things to be what they are, and overact.
Peter S. Beagle
I love whom I love, Prince Lir repeated firmly. You have no power over anything that matters.
Peter S. Beagle
The Unicorn Sonata... tells us that our true home is often right around the corner, if we'd only open our eyes - and our ears - to find it.
Peter S. Beagle
But I still feel I waste a lot of time leaning on my elbow and thinking to myself, 'alright sucker, now what?'
Peter S. Beagle
The moon was gone, but to the magician's eyes the unicorn was the moon, cold and white and very old, lighting his way to safety, or to madness.
