“If wishes were stories, beggars would read…”

“If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.”

“If wishes were horses, even beggars would ride. (Dark-Hunter)”

“I saw rich beggars and poor beggars, proud beggars and humble beggars, fat beggars and thin beggars, healthy beggars and sick beggars, whole beggars and crippled beggars, wise beggars and stupid beggars. I saw amateur beggars and professional beggars. A professional beggar is a beggar who begs for a living.”

“We are reading the story of our lives
As though we were in it
As though we had written it.”

“The beggar who can write and read requires proper motivation than daily support from others.”

“If wishes were wings, pigs would fly.”

“And so he was reading the story as if it were a spell and the words of it, spoken aloud, could make magic happen.”

“I wish she was dead,' he says. 'I wish they were all dead and we were, too. It would be best.”

“How stupid lovers can be! But if they were not, there would be no story.”
