It was a curious feeling, that something could be so close and so distant at the same time.
Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.
Everything else has vanished, so you take them now. Maybe if you're the one keeping them, I'll be the one feeling better.
This feeling is not unlike the sinking in one's stomach when one is in an elevator that suddenly goes down, or when you are snug in your bed and your closet door suddenly creaks open to reveal the person who has been hiding there.
An Overall Feeling of Doom that One Cannot Ever Escape no Matter What One Does
If you don’t care about something, one way to demonstrate your feelings is to say the word and then repeat the word with the letters S-C-H-M replacing the first letters. Somebody who didn’t care about dentists, for instance could say ‘Dentist, schmentists.
What happens in a certain place can stain your feelings for that location, just as ink can stain a white sheet.
Taking one’s chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling comfortable and warm, and sometimes there is something terrible lurking around that you cannot see until it is too late and you can do nothing else but scream and cling to a plastic duck.
It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.
Either you have the feeling or you don't. Hawk Davies
People can expect poisonous mushrooms, ... And then only if they open the book.
Book thirteen marks the return of a reptile previously gone missing.
I don't know whether it's digital effects or if they trained a baby to bite through steel. I'm not sure what method was used.
It's full of depressing details about the children's lives, ... and, I'm sorry to say, it's the longest in the series. So in terms of total misery, it's quite a lot to deal with well, both in terms of the number of pages and the amount of misery per page.
