“When she finally wrapped her arms around the girl, the softness stirring in her heart frightened her. It was dangerous to be soft in this world.”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

“Evil seldom takes shape immediately. It is often little more than a whisper at first. A glance. A betrayal. But then it grows and takes root, still invisible, unnoticed. Only fairy tales give evil a proper shape. The big bad wolves, the evil kings, the demons, and devils . . .”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

“The raindrops were tears too. The whole world was crying.”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun

“The only piece of home Ofelia had been able to take with her were some of her books. She closed her fingers firmly around the one on her lap, caressing the cover. When she opened the book, the white pages were so bright against the shadows that filled the forest and the words they offered granted shelter and comfort. The letters were like footprints in the snow, a wide white landscape untouched by pain, unharmed by memories too dark to keep, too sweet to let go of.”
― Guillermo del Toro, Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun
