The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things...Things must happen when it is time for them to happen.
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
Whatever can die is beautiful β more beautiful than a unicorn, who lives forever, and who is the most beautiful creature in the world. Do you understand me?
Peter S. Beagle
I am infected with life and will die of it in time.

Peter S. Beagle
What is plucked will grow again, What is slain lives on, What is stolen will remain-- What is gone is gone.
Peter S. Beagle
Never run from anything immortal. It attracts their attention.
Peter S. Beagle
What use is magic if it can't save a unicorn?
Peter S. Beagle
Only to a magician is the world forever fluid, infinitely mutable and eternally new. Only he knows the secret of change, only he knows truly that all things are crouched in eagerness to become something else, and it is from this universal tension that he draws his power.
Peter S. Beagle
How's the Angel of Death supposed to do his job with clipped wings?
Peter S. Beagle
The horns came riding in like the rainbow masts of silver ships.
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
Envy nobody. It is the true secret of happiness, or at least the only one I know. (By Moonlight)
Peter S. Beagle
I always say perseverance is nine-tenths of any art β not that it's much help to be nine-tenths an artist, of course.
