Beyond the town, darker than dark, King Haggard's castle teetered like a lunatic on stilts.

...no cat out of its first fur can ever be deceived by appearances. Unlike human beings, who enjoy them.

The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things...Things must happen when it is time for them to happen.

Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of anything. Whatever you have been, you are mine now. I can hold you.

...but the enchantment of error that you put on me I must wear forever in your eyes.

I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am full of tears and hunger and the fear of death, although I cannot weep, and I want nothing, and I cannot die. I am not like the others now, for no unicorn was ever born who could regret, but I do. I regret.

There are honest people in the world, but only because the devil considers their asking prices ridiculous.
