A couple pages in, one of the hunters says "Stay where you are, poor beast. This is no world for you. Stay in your forest and keep your trees green and your friends long-lived. Pay no mind to young girls for they never become anything more than silly old women. And good luck to you." I love that thought about young girls all turning into silly old women. :)That is all.... for now.

The Unicorn "But I would know if all the others were gone. I'd be gone too. Nothing can happen to them that does not happen to me."

if this was FB I could just click 'like' on this quote but instead I have to use words LOL.... but I wonder does that mean if we have been young and a female we will turn into a silly old woman... oh that's right in reality all old women are silly.... I really do hope that if I become old I will be silly... what fun that will make old age. That looks much more inviting than bing a grumpy bum.

Clicking "Like" seems lazy to me now that I think about it, bc I had this same thought on different posts. Why not share WHY you like it... just reading this give me so much more insight into the person you are than if you had been able to "like" it with a single click.

Let the rest of the world be lazy, let them hoard their thoughts and hide themselves by clicking "like". We will be fresh and speak and say what we mean to say instead of merely nodding along in agreement. I like that about readers, and about Goodreads... reading sets us apart and either makes us more intelligent through the pursuit of this love of the written word or keeps us in the company of those who already ARE intelligent because of all the knowledge they have gained from said pursuit.

We will be fresh and speak and say what we mean to say instead of merely nodding along ..."
Amen! (And you should REALLY read "Introvert Power" - I just reviewed it - check it out!)

Oh for the pete of sakes, Karen, ALRIGHT ALREADY! I'll read it! Just as soon as I finish the other 5 in my queue.

"Your name is a golden bell hung in my heart. I would break my body to pieces to call you once by your name." ~ The Butterfly

"Speaking of livers. Real Magic can never be made by offering up someone else's liver. You must tear out your own, and not expect to get it back..."

"You pile of stones, you waste, you desolation, I'll stuff you with misery till it comes out of your eyes. I'll change your heart into green grass, and all you love into sheep. I'll turn you into a bad poet with dreams. I'll set all your toenails growing inward..."

I like this whole bit but the heart into green grass and all you love into sheep is the best.

"I'm no man, I'm a magician with no magic, and that's no one at all."

"...Very confusing, especially when you've had a half turnip for dinner."

"The most professional curse ever snarled or croaked or thundered can have no effect on a pure heart."
