I was always so relieved that anyone wants to publish anything I've written.
The price of getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted.
Everything here is so weak, little girl. Everything breaks so easily. They want such simple things.
When you love something you just don't want to stop talking about it.
It's not what I'd want for at my funeral. When I die, I just want them to plant me somewhere warm. And then when the pretty women walk over my grave I would grab their ankles, like in that movie.
The only reason people die, is because EVERYONE does it. You all just go along with it. It's RUBBISH, death. It's STUPID. I don't want nothing to do with it.
Why does she want me?" Coraline asked the cat. "Why does she want me to stay here with her?" "She wants something to love, I think," said the cat. "Something that isn't her. She might want something to eat as well. It's hard to tell with creatures like that.
You have a very open relationship with your fans." "Yes. We have an open relationship. Obviously they can see other authors if they want, and I can see other readers.
If you want to call it that. But it is a very specific sort of magic. There's a magic you take from death. Something leaves the world, something else comes into it.
All your questions can be answered, if that is what you want. But once you learn your answers, you can never unlearn them.
I mean, maybe I am crazy. I mean, maybe. But if this is all there is, then I don't want to be sane.
You don’t want to ask after the health of anyone, if you’re a funeral director. They think maybe you’re scouting for business.
When you die, they can make you into diamonds now. It’s scientific. That’s how I want to be remembered. I want to shine.
You must have a bladder like Lake Erie. I think empires rose and fell in the time it took you to pee. I could hear it the whole time." Thank you. Do you want something?
