Beautiful Sentences: Erin Morgenstern’s “The Night Circus”

“Old stories have a habit of being told and retold and changed. Each subsequent storyteller puts his or her mark upon it. Whatever truth the story once had is buried in bias and embellishment. The reasons do not matter as much as the story itself.”

“As he watches her in the flickering light, it strikes Bailey suddenly that she is a fair deal older than she appears, and that the same is likely true of Marco. It is like realizing that someone in a photograph is no longer the same age as they were when it was taken, and they seem farther away because of it.”
