“Surely I must be a princess in an enchanted sleep. Any day now, this dream-no, nightmare would end, and I’d get my prince and happy ending.”
“You must learn to know the difference between tales and the truth, my Liza, she would say. Fairy tales have a habit of ending too soon. They never show what happens afterwards when the prince and princess ride off the page.”
“Now I wantSpirits to enforce, art to enchant;And my ending is despair,Unless I be relieved by prayer”
“Better to end this dream before it becomes a nightmare.”
“I'm not sure if my dream is a dream, or a nightmare.”
“Dreams would always end with you, and then mornings would steal you away with a cruelty that haunted my days.”
