Schmendrik: I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full.
Prince Lir: Heroes know that things must happen when it is time for them to happen. A quest may not simply be abandoned; unicorns may go unrescued for a long time, but not forever; a happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
Schmendrick: The magic chose the shape, not I. I am a bearer, I am a dwelling, I am a messenger... Molly: You are an idiot!
She said, "I will go no farther." "There is no choice. We can only go on." The magician said again. "We can only go on."
Butterfly: "Death takes what man would keep and leaves what man would lose"
The Skull:"When I was alive, I believed--as you do--that time was at least as real and solid as myself, and probably more so. I said 'one o'clock' as though I could see it, and 'Monday' as though I could find it on the map; and I let myself be hurried along from minute to minute, day to day, year to year, as though I were actually moving from one place to another. Like everyone else, I lived in a house bricked up with seconds and minutes, weekends and New Year's Days, and I never went outside until I died, because there was no other door. Now I know that I could have walked through the walls."
Schmendrik:"I think I understand, but I'm sure I don't"
Schmendrick: "Take me with you, for lucks, for laughs, for the unknown."

UNICORN: There has never been a spell on me before. There has never been a world in which I was not known. SCHMENDRICK: Oh, I know exactly how you feel. It's a very rare person who is taken for what he truly is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOLLY GRUE: But you do. You have magic. Maybe you can't find it, but it's there. You called Robin Hood, and there is no Robin Hood. You have all the power you need, if you dare to look for it!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
MOLLY GRUE (to Schmendrick): But what if there isn't a happy ending at all? SCHMENDRICK: There are no happy endings, because nothing ends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
UNICORN: You are a true wizard now, as you always wished. Does it make you happy? SCHMENDRICK: Well, men don't always know when they're happy, but I-I think so. And you? UNICORN: I am a little afraid to go home. I have been mortal, and some part of me is mortal yet. I am no longer like the others; for no unicorn was ever born who could regret. But now I do. I regret. SCHMENDRICK: I am sorry, I have done you evil and I cannot undo it. UNICORN: No. Unicorns are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy - save one, and I thank you for that part too. Farewell, good magician. I will try to go home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
SCHMENDRICK: She will remember your heart when men are fairy tales in books written by rabbits. Of all unicorns, she is the only one who knows what regret is - and love.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
