UNICORN QUOTES
I have gathered a list a bunch of Unicorn quotes from around the net and books that I have read. Enjoy!
"But within me the unicorn still remains, a formless shadow in the spaces of my mind." -- Josephine Bradley, In Pursuit of the Unicorn
"But dreams are real, too ... [and] this reality is the unicorn's terrain." -- Josephine Bradley, In Pursuit of the Unicorn
"The unicorn stands alone, still as frost. It keeps watch down corridors of time. The past and the future meet in the presence of the unicorn: the darkness and light become one. Patient as a candle flame, inviolate, here is our guardian, keeper of the silent unknown." -- Josephine Bradley, In Pursuit of the Unicorn
"You are the phanton on the sleepless nights... The mane of a unicorn glimpsed for a heartbeat through the forest... you are the dream." -- Source Unknown
"Dreams are the playground of unicorns." -- Unknown
"Unicorns don't care if you believe in them any more than you care if they believe in you." -- Source Unknown
"There was no violence, no speed. It moved to the rhythm of an elder dance, putting all the rituals of the world to shame. Black, silver, gold and moon-opal, night and sea, fire, earth, air and water." -- Tanith Lee; Black Unicorn
"If the unicorn does live among the snows held up forever on the line of the Equator then it is clear why the world should know so little about them." -- Odell Shepard
"Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack; Like a gust of wind, ne'er rapped in a snare; Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water; Like me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam." -- Hymn of Buddha
"...and from the heart of the blossom there appeared a unicorn..." -- James Endicott
"...I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
That unicorns may be betraye'd with trees,
And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
Lions with toils and men with flatters;"
-- William Shakespeare; Julius Caesar
"In the night, Night passed down the street... She felt the terror of it, the magic, and the impossibilty that it should be there or that she should go to it.
"'What do you want?'"
But the unicorn only moved through the village like the wind, silent, without music."
-- Tanith Lee; Black Unicorn
"Of all the legendary animals of art, folklore and literature, the Unicorn is the one with the greatest hold on our imaginations. Other fabulous beasts are clearly inventions, existing only in a mythical landscape of our own collective creation. But the Unicorn strikes us as more than imaginary. It seems possible, even probable - a creature so likely that it ought to exist." -- Nancy Hathaway; The Unicorn
"The question of historicity and actuality with regard to gods and unicorns is a relatively trifling matter which may be left to antiquarians and biologists, for both the god and the unicorn had a business to perform greater than any mere existence in the flesh could explain or provide a basis for." -- Odell Shepard; The Lore of the Unicorn
"To regard teh unicorn as wholly fabulous and a product of fancy is an absurd and arbitrary position, and we do well to remember that if the elephant and giraffe and camel should once die out they too, on account of their strange forms, would be thought as fabulous." -- Joseph Russegger
"There are a few exceptions, however, to this rule that our projection of ourselves is lower than the facts of Nature, and the unicorn -- noble, chaste, fierce yet beneficent, altruistic though solitary, strangely beautiful -- is the clearest exception of all. The unicorn was not conceived in fear. Our early sense of Nature's majestry and mysetery is revealed in him." -- Odell Shepard; The Lore of the Unicorn
"God himself must needs be tranduced, if there is no unicorn in the world." -- Edward Topsell
"The trees hold gentle branches around it; the forest pool guards it secret....Among the silent spaces of the trees it grows protected, nurtured by sunlight; wateched over by the winds and softfooted shadows." -- Josephine Bradley
"Now I will believe that there are unicorns . . . " William Shakespeare, The Tempest
