She was offering her open palm to the crook-eared cat, but he stayed where he was, shivering with the desire to go to her"...[later, Molly asked the cat] "Why were you afraid to let her touch you? I saw you. You were afraid of her."
"If she had touched me," he said very softly, "I would have been hers and not my own, not ever again. I wanted her to touch me but I could not let her. No cat will... The price is more than a cat can pay.”
― Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

“But is the unicorn a falsehood? It's the sweetest of animals and a noble symbol. It stands for Christ and for chastity; it can be captured only by setting a virgin in the forest, so that the animal, catching her most chaste odor, will go and lay its head in her lap, offering itself as prey to the hunters' snares."

"So it is said, Adso. But many tend to believe that it's a fable, an invention of the pagans."

Instead of reading the same old books again, we went back in time to one of the most exciting adventures we’ve had together. So, what you are about to read is based on a true story. At least, a part of it is. For real!”

“There are many ways to find a unicorn. But the simplest is just to let him find you instead. If you’ve ever seen one, you will know that ages can go by without your hearing any mention of them, and in time you might forget they exist altogether. And yet… Sooner or later, they always come back. I’ve experienced this myself often. Last time this happened to me, I was at a Book Fair. There was an odd space, a kind of corridor that was closed-off and dark, and no one was going in. No sooner had I turned the corner than I saw the unicorn. There he was, in a book called Unicorns I Have Known. I’m not sure exactly why, but, from then on, Roger and I have talked about unicorns many times. It’s always the same: whenever you start forgetting about them, something shows up to remind you. As legend has it, only the pure of heart can see them. So if you want to have the experience for yourself: believe. And then they will appear to you, in books, in paintings, in quotations. Unicorns are in Shakespeare, in Lewis Carroll, and many other authors. All of a sudden, you turn a page or you go online and there they are – waiting for you.
Claudia de Moraes, 1997”
