Ah, love may be strong, but a habit is stronger, And I knew when I loved by the way I behaved.
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.

Ravens bring things to people. We're like that. It's our nature. We don't like it.
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.

The magician was studying her face with his green eyes. Your face is wet, he said worriedly. I hope that's spray. If you've become human enough to cry, then no magic in the world — oh, it must be spray. Come with me. It had better be spray.
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
Unicorns are immortal. It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough for them to see themselves -- for they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful.
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
It’s a rare man who is taken for what he truly is.
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
We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream.
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
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
- and you are truly human now. You can love, and fear, and forbid things to be what they are, and overact.
