"Its voice sounded like the voice at the back of Coraline's head, the voice she thought words in, but a man's voice, not a girl's." ~pg. 35

"'We could be rare specimens of an exotic breed of African dancing elephants,' said the cat. 'But we're not. At least,' it added calmly, after darting a brief look at Coraline, 'I'm not.'" ~pg. 36

"And, after all, it is always easier to be afraid of something you cannot see." ~pg. 95

"'You don't really understand, do you?' she said. 'I don't want everything 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?'" ~pg. 119

"'There's a but, isn't there?' said Coraline. 'I can feel it. Like a rain cloud.'" ~pg. 144
