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.

More quotes by Peter S. Beagle
I am infected with life and will die of it in time.
Peter S. Beagle
Never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.
Peter S. Beagle
If a man loved me, I would have talked myself into loving him, and I would have loved him very deeply after a while.
Peter S. Beagle
Ah, love may be strong, but a habit is stronger, And I knew when I loved by the way I behaved.
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
Avicenna California...Museum of my twisted youth, vault of my dearest and most disgusting memories.
Peter S. Beagle
Take me with you. For laughs, for luck, for the unknown. Take me with you.
Peter S. Beagle
Lir said, It is my right. A hero is entitled to his happy ending, when it comes at last. But Schmendrick answered, This is not the end, either for you or for her.
Peter S. Beagle
The horns came riding in like the rainbow masts of silver ships.
Peter S. Beagle
...no cat out of its first fur can ever be deceived by appearances. Unlike human beings, who enjoy them.
Peter S. Beagle
Real magic can never be made by offering someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back.
Peter S. Beagle

Peter S. Beagle
What do men know? Because they have seen no unicorns for a while does not mean we have all vanished.
Peter S. Beagle
The woman I loved died because I did not love her enough - what greater sin is there than that? (Uncle Chaim and Aunt Fifke and the Angel)
Peter S. Beagle
A rhinoceros is as ugly as a human being, and it too is going to die, but at least it never thinks that it is beautiful.
Peter S. Beagle
I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.
Peter S. Beagle
If she had touched me, he said very softly, I would have been hers and not my own, not ever again. I wanted her to touch me but I could not let her. No cat will. We let human beings caress us because it is pleasant enough and calms them - but not her. The price is more than a cat can pay.
Peter S. Beagle
It’s a rare man who is taken for what he truly is.
Peter S. Beagle
There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.
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. Sing to me, sing loudly-drown out my dreams, keep me from remembering whatever wants me to remember it. Sing to me, my lord prince, if it please you. It may not seem a hero's task, but I would be glad of it.
Peter S. Beagle
