"It was a bright spring morning, full of promise. Most travellers are familiar with this kind of weather—when the wind blows westward and warm but the ground still chills the soles of your feet, when the tree buds have begun to unfurl and scent the air with secret springtime madness—and they know those days are made for leaving."

"Once we have agreed that true love exists, we may consider its nature. It is not, as many misguided poets would have you believe, an event in and of itself; it is not something that happens, but something that simply is and always has been. One does not fall in love; one discovers it.

"Novels are untrustworthy advisers. They aren't concerned with rationality or sobriety; they peddle in tragedy and suspense, in chaos and rule breaking, in madness and heartache, and they will steer you toward such things with all guile of a piler luring rats into a river."

"Not every story is made for telling. Sometimes just by telling a story you're stealing it, stealing a little of the mystery away from it."

"If we address stories as archaeological sites, and dust through their layers with meticulous care, we find at some level there is always a doorway. A diving point between here and there, us and them, mundane and magical. It is at the moments when the doors open, when things flow between the worlds, that stories happen."
