More quotes by 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
My son, your ineptitude is so vast, your incompetence so profound, that I am certain you are inhabited by greater power than I have ever known.
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

Peter S. Beagle
Take me with you. For laughs, for luck, for the unknown. Take me with you.
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
How's the Angel of Death supposed to do his job with clipped wings?
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
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
Men have to have heroes, but no man can ever be as big as the need, and so a legend grows around a grain of truth, like a pearl.
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
Her voice left a flavor of honey and gunpowder on the air.
