More quotes by Peter S. Beagle
There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.
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
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
...but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes.
Peter S. Beagle
Her voice left a flavor of honey and gunpowder on the air.
Peter S. Beagle
Avicenna California...Museum of my twisted youth, vault of my dearest and most disgusting memories.
Peter S. Beagle
How's the Angel of Death supposed to do his job with clipped wings?
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
What use is magic if it can't save a unicorn?
Peter S. Beagle
We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream.
Peter S. Beagle
- and you are truly human now. You can love, and fear, and forbid things to be what they are, and overact.
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
Ravens bring things to people. We're like that. It's our nature. We don't like it.
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
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
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
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
Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.
Peter S. Beagle
I love whom I love, Prince Lir repeated firmly. You have no power over anything that matters.
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
