EDGEWOOD TOP 20 BOOK QUOTES
EMELINE
THE WOODS CAME FOR EMELINE THE WAY THEY ALWAYS DID: CREEPING IN WITH THE SHADOWS, SEEPING UP THROUGH THE CRACKS.
EMELINE
AWARENESS CRACKLED LIKE ELECTRICITY ACROSS HER SKIN. THERE WAS SOMETHING FAMILIAR ABOUT HIS PRESENCE. LIKE A BOOK SHE’D READ A LONG TIME AGO AND FORGOTTEN.
WORDS ENGRAVED ON A TILTHING BOWL
THE STEEPEST SACRIFICES MAKE THE STRONGEST TITHES.
PA
THE FOREST TAKES WHAT IT LIKES AND NEVER APOLOGIZES
PA
YOU CAN ALWAYS TELL A SHIFTLING BY ITS SHADOWS
EMELINE
THE LIGHT HERE WASN’T THE DEEP GOLD OF SUNSET, BUT THE PALLID GRAY OF DEATH.
EMELINE
SHE WATCHED HIM STAND AT THE WINDOWS. WATCHED HIM PACE THE HALLS. WAITING FOR HIS GRANDDAUGHTER. LONGING FOR HER TO COME. WASTING AWAY, A LITTLE MORE EACH DAY.
HAWTHORNE
LIVE YOUR LIFE. FORGET THE FOREST.
HAWTHORNE
THERE ARE HORRORS HERE FAR WORSE THAN ANY NIGHTMARE. IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ANOTHER ONE FINDS YOU.
EMELINE
IT WAS EERIE AND ANIMAL-LIKE, THE WAY BOY AND BIRD CONVERSED WITHOUT WORDS.
EMELINE
SHE LOOKED ALMOST FERAL, MORE WILD CREATURE THAN GIRL.
EMELINE
THIS YEARNING, THIS ACHE – FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE HER IN THEIR ARMS AND TELL HER EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE OKAY – WAS IT SO WRONG? WAS IT WEAK TO WANT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, JUST FOR A DAY, OR AN HOUR, OR EVEN FIVE MINUTES?
EMELINE
PEOPLE WHO POUNDED ON OTHER PEOPLE’S DOORS AT THIS GODFORSAKEN HOUR DESERVED TO BE GREETED BY SMALL HORRORS.
HAWTHORNE
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, YOU’LL NEED AN EDGE.
EMELINE
THEY ALL MURMURED THEIR ASSENT, STARING AT EMELINE AS IF SHE WERE A GOD WHO’D WALTZED STRAIGHT OUT OF A GREEK MYTH. LIKE GOLDEN ARTEMIS STRIDING OUT OF THE WOODS AFTER A SUCCESSFUL HUNT, A PRIZE DEER SLUNG OVER HER SHOULDERS.
HAWTHORNE
IN BEOWULF, UBI SUNT MEANS… OR AT LEAST, I THINK IT MEANS… “WHAT’S THE POINT OF COURAGE? OF FIGHTING OFF MONSTERS? OF DOING YOUR BEST? WHAT’S THE POINT OF ANY OF IT, IF WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE IN THE END?
GRACE
I TITHED THE MOST POWERFUL THING I OWNED: MY ENTIRE LIFE BEYOND THE WOODS. MY FAMILY. MY FUTURE. FOR LOVE
EMELINE
THE FOREST SWELLED AROUND HER, VAST AND UNPREDICTABLE. HERE, SOMETHING NAMELESS AND HUGE LAY BENEATH THE BRACKEN, TANGLING WITH THE ROOTS OF THE OLD TREES, PULSING BENEATH THE SOLES OF HER FEET. HERE, THE HUNGRY SONG OF THE WOODS THRUMMED LIKE A PULSE. CALLING TO HER.
EMELINE
BUT THERE IS POWER AT THE EDGES: THAT SLIVER BETWEEN NIGHT AND DAY, AT THE PLACE WHERE WINTER TOUCHES SPRING, THE BOUNDARY WHERE FOREST MEETS FIELD. WILD MAGIC GROWS BETWEEN THE CRACKS IN ALL THINGS.
THE WOOD KING
I CAN’T CHANGE A THING THAT DOESN’T WANT TO BE CHANGED.
EMELINES SONG
BREATHING SLOW AND STEADY
SLEEP HAS SETTLED IN
I TRACE THE PATHWAYS, MIDNIGHT BLUE
THAT RUN BENEATH YOUR SKIN
SOME SPIRIT I HAVE LOST SOMEWHERE
I SEARCH FOR IT IN VAIN
SOME BEAUTY I’VE FORGOTTEN
SINCE YOU FORGOT MY NAME
EVERY TIME I CLOSE MY EYES
YOU’RE WAITING THERE FOR ME
ROOTED IN MY DEEPEST DREAMS
STRONG AND SILENT AS A TREE
SOME SPIRIT SLEEPS BUT NEVER DIES
SOME BEAUTY NEVER FADES
SOME LOVE LIES DORMANT UNDERGROUND
SINCE I FORGOT YOUR NAME
