Gregory Maguire Quote
And of the Witch? In the life of a Witch, there is no after, in the ever after of a Witch there is no happily; in the story of a Witch, there is no afterword. Of that part that is beyond the life story, beyond the story of the life, there is-alas, or perhaps thank mercy-no telling. She was dead, dead, and gone, and all that was left of her was the carapace of her reputation for malice.
