Peter S. Beagle
“My people are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy‌—‌save one, and I thank you for that, too.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

George MacDonald
“As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy. Cometh white-robed Sorrow, stooping and wan, and flingeth wide the doors she may not enter. Almost we linger with Sorrow for very love.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes

Peter S. Beagle
“I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

George MacDonald
“I learned that he that will be a hero, will barely be a man; that he that will be nothing but a doer of his work, is sure of his manhood.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes

George MacDonald
“Afterwards I learned, that the best way to manage some kinds of painful thoughts, is to dare them to do their worst; to let them lie and gnaw at your heart till they are tired; and you find you still have a residue of life they cannot kill.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes
