More quotes by Peter S. Beagle
Whatever can die is beautiful — 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
Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of anything. Whatever you have been, you are mine now. I can hold you.
Peter S. Beagle
Ravens bring things to people. We're like that. It's our nature. We don't like it.
Peter S. Beagle
You were the one who taught me, he said. I never looked at you without seeing the sweetness of the way the world goes together, or without sorrow for its spoiling. I became a hero to serve you, and all that is like you.
Peter S. Beagle
The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. But her eyes were still clear and unwearied, and she still moved like a shadow on the sea.
Peter S. Beagle
They know these mornings well and love them desperately because they cannot last - these people who know that nothing lasts.
Peter S. Beagle
Beyond the town, darker than dark, King Haggard's castle teetered like a lunatic on stilts.
Peter S. Beagle
The tune was wailing and mournful, almost flagrantly so, and the total effect was of a heartbroken piccolo being parted forever from its bagpipe lover.
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
The most professional curse ever snarled or croaked or thundered can have no effect on a pure heart.
Peter S. Beagle
Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
Peter S. Beagle
There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.
Peter S. Beagle
As for you and your heart and the things you said and didn't say, she will remember them all when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits.
Peter S. Beagle
What use is wizardry if it cannot save a Unicorn?
Peter S. Beagle
You have to be very deep to be dead, he thought, and I'm not. He began to have some concept of forever, and his mind shivered as his body had when he had wakened in the cold nights and thrust his hands between his thighs to keep warm. It will be a long night, he thought.
Peter S. Beagle
There are honest people in the world, but only because the devil considers their asking prices ridiculous.
Peter S. Beagle
She said, I will go no farther. There is no choice. We can only go on. The magician said again. We can only go on.
Peter S. Beagle
No, he repeated, and this time the word tolled in another voice, a king's voice... whose grief was not for what he did not have, but for what he could not give.
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
We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream.
Peter S. Beagle
