1 " Hearts grow hard and weary. Pain spreads, and joy diminishes. Those who hated you hate you still, but those who loved you, or would have loved you, or wanted to love you but never had the chance, are being scraped hollow by a loss they don't understand. Come home. Please come home. We are withering without you. "
― Bruce Coville , Dark Whispers (The Unicorn Chronicles, #3)

3 " That sense of loss grew within the humans who had been left behind, left to live without unicorns. Even the ones who had never seen a unicorn, never heard of a unicorn, felt the passing of something sweet and wonderful.

4 " Travel safe, travel well. May those who have gone before be always with you. "
5 " But it's often the case that our most intimate enemies are rooted in our own darkness. "
6 " For what kind of world is it that has no unicorns? "
7 " It is easy enough to reject a story because you do not like what it says, but wiser to examine it first, to see what can be learned from it. "
8 " Now that she had lived in two worlds, would she ever again be completely at home in either of them? Or would part of her always long for the other, no matter where she was? "
9 " What we do not wish to remember we sometimes hide. That which we hide long enough is sometimes forgotten altogether, even if it never forgets itself. "
10 " There would not be much left if every useful thing that could be turned to bad ends were destroyed. "
11 " (T)he downfall of the wise and the mighty comes not from being strong or wise, but from thinking you are stronger and wiser than you truly are, than any being can truly be. "
12 " Each of us is a miracle. Alas, it is a fact we too often forget. "
