“I am a total zombie just after I wake up. It takes me half an hour even to get my eyes open. Ask anyone who knows me. I can't see; I can't talk properly; I can't do anything without help. The only think I can do properly is think. And I know how to exploit my condition. I've had years of practice.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, The Merlin Conspiracy

“Settle for what you can get, but first ask for the World.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland

“To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.”
― Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 4: Season of Mists

“A heart's a heavy burden.”
― Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle
