“Would you like to live forever? I am afraid I cannot recommend it. I am used to it now, and I do understand how special it is. Only I want to stop now. I want to grow up like you.”

“You may be thinking my life is so splendid and glamorous like a movie. Maybe it's everything you've ever dreamt of. It might be the life you want to live when you're older.

What can I say? I'm sorry to burst your bubble of aspirations, but that is unfortunately not the case.

My name's Zelda Mulette and I am seventeen years old. From my past experiences which are about to be revealed, my life is not like in the movies."

-Zelda Mulette”
― Kanako Okiron, Not Like in the Movies

“I do not count as our successes those who have won scholarships and passed exams, though these are good things to do. I count as our successes those who learn to be good-hearted and kind, sensible and trustable, good, sound women the world can lean on. Our failures are those who do not learn these things in the years they are here.”
― Enid Blyton, Malory Towers Collection 2: Books 4-6
