"To this day, it is said, malicious animals poison
this water after sundown, so that none can thereupon
drink it. But early in the morning, as soon as the
sun rises, a unicorn comes out of the ocean, dips his
horn into the water to expel the venom from it so that
the other animals may drink thereof during the day.
This as I describe it. I saw it with my own eyes."
--Johannes van Hesse of Utrecht; 1389
"Nothing is more magical...
As long as they roam the Earth,evil
cannot harm the pure of heart."
--From the movie "Legend"
"There was no violence, no speed. It moved to the
rhythm of an elder dance, putting all the rituals of
the world to shame. Black, silver, gold and moon-opal,
night and sea, fire, earth, air and water.
--Tanith Lee; Black Unicorn
"Now I will believe that there are unicorns..."
--William Shakespeare; The Tempest
"Unicorns," she whispered. Rahela nodded. "The most
beautiful of all the Mother's children."
--Jennifer Roberson; The Court of the Summer King
"The people that see them share some of the unicorn's
traits - they're lonely... with virtuous hearts."
--from Ally McBeal
