When we were together I felt breathless.
Now you are.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Vile Village

“And most generally there is something about everything that you can be glad about, if you keep hunting long enough to find it.”
― Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna

“There was something I was always very good at, however, and that was teaching myself not to be frightened while frightening things are going on. It is difficult to do this, but I had learned. It is simply a matter of putting one’s fear aside, like the vegetable on the plate you don’t want to touch until all of your rice and chicken are gone, and getting frightened later, when one is out of danger. Sometimes I imagine I will be frightened for the rest of my life because of all of the fear I put aside during my time in Stain’d-by-the-Sea.”
― Lemony Snicket, Who Could That Be at This Hour?

“It is one of the peculiar truths of life that people often say things that they know full well are ridiculous.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Slippery Slope
