"There is truth, my boy. But the doctrine you desire, absolute, perfect dogma that alone provides wisdom, does not exist. Nor should you long for a perfect doctrine, my friend. Rather, you should long for the perfection of yourself. The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught."

"We can spend our lives letting the world tell us who we are. Sane or insane. Saints or sex addicts. Heroes or victims. Letting history tell us how good or bad we are. Letting our past decide our future. Or we can decide for ourselves. And maybe it's our job to invent something better."

"The momentum of the mind can be vexingly, involuntarily capricious."

Psychology

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"One never knows how the witch became wicked, or whether that was the right choice for her - is it ever the right choice? Does the devil ever struggle to be good again, or if so is he not a devil? It is the very least question of definitions."

Ethics

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"The story of 'Mirror Mirror' is in many ways a story about evolution. It's about the evolution of a child into an adult. It's about the evolution of those dwarves into something a little less rock-like, a little more humanoid. It's about the evolution of history, too, from the darkness of the Middle Ages into the light of the Age of Reason."

Education

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"I think that's shameful, even if it's just a story, to propose an afterlife for evil... Any afterlife notion is a manipulation and a sop. It's shameful the way the unionists and the pagans both keep talking up hell for intimidation and the airy Other Land for reward."

Ethics

Gregory Maguire
"Children played at those stories, they dreamed about them. They took them to heart and acted as if to live inside them."

Childhood

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"Where I'm from, we believe in all sorts of things that aren't true... we call it history."

History

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"To read, even in the half-dark, is also to call the lost forward."

Education

Gregory Maguire
"Oh, mercy, there is nothing monstrously ugly about you. Ruth may be unpleasing, but you are merely plain. If anything, it's my beauty that's monstrous, for it sweeps away any other aspect of my character."

Identity

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"Night-time is being brushed aside like so much cobweb. The day is wound up and begins even before the last haunted dreams, the last of the fog, those spectral and evanescent residues, have faded away."

Time

Quote_1.png
Gregory Maguire
"Immortality is a chancy thing, it cannot be promised or earned. Perhaps it cannot even be identified for what it is."
