You might be afraid of the dark, but the dark is not afraid of you. That’s why the dark is always close by.
The thing you hope will never happen to you might just happen to someone else instead, who has been spending their life dreading the thing that will happen to you.
and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.
If you are trying to fool a farsighted or dimwitted person, a veiled facial disguise might be enough.
There are some things we might not know,but that doesnt mean we should give up.We can find out what we need to know.We can find out everything
There are some secrets you want to keep to yourself, even if they don't matter. They might only matter if you keep them secret.
I am heartbroken, but I have been heartbroken before, and this might be the best for which I can hope.
I find reading screenplays difficult, as they're only a roadmap for what a movie might end up being.
I was so grateful that Lemony Snicket wasn't the worst movie ever made that I overlooked many things that might have otherwise upset me.
I didn't like books where people played on a sports team and won a bunch of games, or went to summer camp and had a wonderful time. I really liked a book where a witch might cut a child's head off or a pack of angry dogs might burst through a door and terrorize a family.

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.
