It is memory that reminds our bodies to work, and memory that reminds our spirits to work to: it keeps us who we are.~Candle - Quote by Gregory Maguire

People always did like to talk, didn't they? That's why I call myself a witch now: the Wicked Witch of the West, if you want the full glory of it. As long as people are going to call you a lunatic anyway, why not get the benefit of it? It liberates you from convention.

Gregory Maguire
But his face had that hollow look, as if there was something gone... you know that look. The inward focus. Distantly attentive to the home you're missing, or the someone you're missing. That look that a bird has when it turns it dry reptilian eye on you. That look that doesn't see you because the mind is filled up with someone it would rather see.
Gregory Maguire
In order to remember who you are, you have to have known it in the first place.
Gregory Maguire
Nothing in the Grimmerie on how to depose a tyrant - nothing useful... Nothing there that described why men and women could turn out so horrible. Or so wonderful - if that ever happens anymore.
Gregory Maguire
You can't be said to have properly established yourself in a place until you have been seen there.

When you can't die, she thought, everything sounds like a clock ticking.
