Hope. Nothing is more intoxicating.
My children were all made from paper and printer's ink...
Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but don't come back, ok?
What's that sticky stuff called? Basta: Duct tape. Yes, duct tape. I love duct tape.
Didn't books say that too: that there is always price to pay for happiness?
I prefer a story that has the good sense to stay on the page where it belongs. - Elinor
Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?
There are not so many mythical creatures from Inkheart.
Nothing is more terrifying than fearlessness.
You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the evidence of your eyes. You just know them.
A reader doesn't really see the characters in a story; he feels them.
We're all liars when it serves our purpose.
Nothing is more frightening than a fear you cannot name.
Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.
