Text Quotes
She is our moon. Our tidal pull. She is the rich deep beneath the sea, the buried treasure, the expression in the owl’s eye, the perfume in the wild rose. She is what the water says when it moves  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) All I wanted, even when I hated you most, was some poor, barren, parched excuse to love you. But you only gave me riddles  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Those who fear the imagination condemn it: something childish, they say, something monsterish, misbegotten. Not all of us dream awake. But those of us who do have no choice  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) The man was hit in one eye by a stone, and that eye turned inward so that it looked into his mind, and he died of what he saw there  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) But even in the schoolyard I’d been aware of that silence, that reserve in him, as though he’d been raised by foxes and language was his second language  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Words, he decided, were inadequate at best, impossible at worst. They meant too many things. Or they meant nothing at all  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) When you put your hands and mind and heart into the knowing of a thing... there is no room in you for fear  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Only yesterday a young woman came to me wanting a trap set for a man with a sweet smile and lithe arms. She was a fool, not for wanting him, but for wanting more of him than that  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Epics are never written about libraries. They exist on whim; it depends on if the conquering army likes to read  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Night is not something to endure until dawn. It is an element, like wind or fire. Darkness is its own kingdom; it moves to its own laws, and many living things dwell in it  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Content, it dreams awake, and spins the fabric of tales. There is really nothing to be done with such imagery except to use it: in writing, in art  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) It’s an odd thing, happiness. Some people take happiness from gold. Or black pearls. And some of us, far more fortunate, take their happiness from periwinkles  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) ... that once were urgent and necessary for an orderly world and now were buried away, gathering dust and of no use to anyone  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Research the imagination. It was as obsolete as the appendix in most adults, except for those in whom, like the appendix, it became inflamed for no reason  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) I thought of you with your hair silver as snow all through that cold, slow journey from Sirle. I felt you troubled deep within me, and there was no other place in the world I would rather have been than in the cold night riding to you. When you opened your gates to me, I was home  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Imagination is the golden-eyed monster that never sleeps. It must be fed; it cannot be ignored  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) It’s an odd thing, happiness. Some people take happiness from gold. Or black pearls. And some of us, far more fortunate, take their happiness from periwinkles.  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) She is our moon. Our tidal pull. She is the rich deep beneath the sea, the buried treasure, the expression in the owl’s eye, the perfume in the wild rose. She is what the water says when it moves.  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Love is an obsolete emotion, ranking in usefulness somewhere between earwigs and toe mold  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) I write fantasy because it’s there. I have no other excuse for sitting down for several hours a day indulging my imagination. Daydreaming. Thinking up imaginary people, impossible places  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) She lies like the moon lies, a different face every night, all but one of them false, and the one true face as barren and hard as stone. Why do you believe her?  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Love is what we say it is, she said fiercely. That’s all I know. That’s all anyone knows about it. I’m sorry  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) I could not find my way back in dreams, I knew then. They were memory and desire, terror and hope; they told me only what I already knew  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Water has its moods, flowing or still; it can lure you like a lover, or look as bleak as a broken heart  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) He was silent a moment, struggling. He said finally, but you had a right to be angry. Yes. But not to hurt those I love, or myself  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) I do not want to choose which one of you I must love or hate. Here, I am free to do neither. I want no part of your bitterness  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Men see what they are most afraid of  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Do you care for me at all? Or do you only need me?  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Perhaps there had never been anything at all to see  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes) Shall I add a man to my collection?  (Patricia A McKillip Quotes)
