Erin Morgenstern quotes about
soul circus ache
Something about the circus stirs their souls, and they ache for it when it is absent.
book teaching writing
This is, in part, why there is less magic in the world today. Magic is secret and secrets are magic, after all, and years upon years of teaching and sharing magic and worse. Writing it down in fancy books that get all dusty with age has lessened it, removed its power bit by bit.
differences perspective opponents
It is a matter of perspective, the difference between opponent and partner," Tsukiko says. "You step to the side and the same person can be either or both or something else entirely. It is difficult to know which face is true.
love-is games decision
Love is fickle and fleeting," Tsukiko continues. "It is rarely a solid foundation for decisions to be made upon, in any game.
long people waiting
I have read for countless people on innumerable subjects and the most difficult thing to understand within the cards is always the timing. I knew that, and still it surprised me. How long I was willing to wait for something that was only a possibility. I always thought it was just a matter of time but I was wrong.
long stories tilt
What happened?" Bailey asks. "That is somewhat difficult to explain," Tsukiko answers. "It is a long and complicated story." "And you're not going to tell me, are you?" She tilts her head a bit ... "No, I am not," she says. "Great," Bailey mutters under his breath... "The bonfire exploded? How?" "Remember when I said it was difficult to explain? That has not changed.
princess hero dragons
Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon . . . is not the dragon the hero of his own story?
rain thoughtful light
The funeral is a quiet one, despite the number of mourners present. There are no sobs or flailing handkerchiefs. There is a smattering of color amongst the sea of traditional black. Even the light rain cannot push it down into the realms of despair. It rests instead in a space of thoughtful melancholy.
chaos
Perhaps it is controlling the chaos within more than the chaos without.
dream thinking way
I don;t think there's anything wrong with being a dreamer. There is not. But dreams have ways of turning into nightmares.
brain mind daylight
I like to call it nighttime brain: the way your mind seems to function on a different frequency than it does during daylight hours - which can be good or bad but also can lead to unexpected epiphanies or experiences that wouldn't be the same at any other time of day.
fun book thinking
I think I get some of my love of adult books that can be fun from Douglas Adams.
entertainment kind bigs
I'm kind of big on performance in general. I like the sort of entertainment where you can go in and be fully immersed in it.
people feelings want
It's a wonderful sort of feeling when people want to spend more time in a world you created.
