“You are words on paper...Be careful what stories you tell yourself”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“Was he a sentiment hanging unspoken or a path not taken or a closed door left unopened? Or was he a deer, glimpsed amongst the trees and then gone, disturbing not a single branch in his departure? The stag is a shot left untaken. An opportunity lost. Stolen like a kiss. In these new forgetful times with their changed ways sometimes the stag will pause a moment longer. He waits though once he never waited, would never dream to wait or wait to dream. He waits now. For someone to take the shot. For someone to pierce his heart. To know he is remembered.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“These things happened. Sometimes it might sound weird but sometimes life is like that. Sometimes life gets weird. You can try to ignore it or you can see where weird takes you.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“For every tale carved in rock there are more inscribed on autumn leaves or woven into spiderwebs.”
