Erin Morgenstern quotes about
circus difficult difficult-things
The most difficult thing to read is time. Maybe because it changes so many things.
apology silence leaving
Trapped in silence, Marco traces apologies and adorations across Celia's body with his tongue. Mutely expressing all the things he cannot speak aloud. He finds other ways to tell her, his fingers leaving faint trails of ink in their wake. He savors every sound he elicits from her. The entire room trembles as they come together. And though there are a great many fragile objects contained within it, nothing breaks.
notebook moving years
It's too late. It was too late by the time I arrived in London to turn your notebook into a dove; there were too many people already involved. Anything either of us does has an effect on everyone here, on every patron who walks through those gates. Hundreds if not thousands of people. All flies in a spiderweb that was spun when I was six years old and now I can barely move for fear of losing someone else.
simple thinking breathing
Our instructors do not understand how it is. To be bound to someone in such a way. They are too old, too out of touch with their emotions. They no longer remember what it is to live and breathe within the world. They think it simple to pit any two people against each other. It is never simple. The other person becomes how you define your life, how you define yourself. They become as necessary as breathing. Then they expect the victor to continue on without that. It would be like pulling the Murray twins apart and expecting them to be the same. They would be whole but not complete.
done care needs
You're in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that's enough.
two people doe
We are two different people, Ethan. Just because you could never decide which one of us you were in love with does not make us interchangeable.
answers aging celia
How are you managing to keep everyone from aging?” Celia asks after a while. “Very carefully,” Marco answers.
effort wish energy
We must put effort and energy into anything we wish to change.
sight done circus
Everything I have done, every change I have made to that circus, every impossible feat and astounding sight, I have done for her.
identity opponents made
I didn't know your identity, but I had an impression of who my opponent was, being surrounded by things you made.
dream theory persons
...have a theory that she is in love with the dream of someone and not an actual person.
circus warning night-circus
The circus arrives without warning.
dream way nightmare
But dreams have ways of turning into nightmares.
supposed-to-be
...He is sure that the Bailey he is now is closer to the Bailey he is supposed to be than the Bailey he had been before
