“Now, you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.”
Have you ever had your future told?
Once, while waiting for a theater to open in New York, by an old woman. She told me I would die on an island. It hasn’t happened yet.
I think most things are pretty magical, and that it’s less a matter of belief than it is one of just stopping to notice.
G.K Chesterton
Peri masalları gerçeklerden ötededir:
Bize ejderhaların var olduklarını anlattıkları için değil,
ejderhaların bile yenilebileceğini gösterdikleri için...
"M-my governess," said the boy, "used to say that nobody is ever given more to shoulder than he or she can bear." He shrugged as he said this, as if he had not yet made his own mind up whether or not it was true.
You're too clever and too quiet for them to understand.
"I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted? Just like that, and it didn't mean anything. What then?"
In the other mother's button eyes, Coraline knew that she was a possession, nothing more. A tolerated pet, whose behaviour was no longer amusing.
"She will take your life and all you are and all you care'st for, and she will leave you with nothing but mist and fog. She'll take your joy. And one day you'll awake and your heart and your soul will have gone. A husk you'll be, a wisp you'll be, and a thing no more than a dream on waking, or a memory of something forgotten."
"Hollow," whispered the third voice. "Hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow, hollow."
"Flee, while there's still air in your lungs and blood in your veins and warmth in your heart. Flee while you still have your mind and your soul."
"We keep our memories longer than our names."
"Sharper than a serpent's tooth," she said, "is a daughter's ingratitude."
