The Night Circus (Vintage Magic)

by Erin Morgenstern

“You prefer not to see the gears of the clock, as to better tell the time.”)

A pile of notebooks slips from the table to the floor in a flurry of fluttering pages and a sound like the wings of birds.

Huge curls of dense white smoke swirl up into the night sky.

“Scent is often underestimated, when it can be the most evocative.”

“I prefer to remain unenlightened, to better appreciate the dark.”

“It is difficult to see a situation for what it is when you are in the midst of it,” Tsukiko says. “It is too familiar. Too comfortable.”

The smallest charms can be the most effective.”
