Book cover for The Wide Window (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #3)
Fickle Ferry, which had driven them across Lake Lachrymose

once again the alliteration makes it easier for children to remember but it also just sounds good. a storybook world without the cliche'd happy ending. plus, lake lachrymose "tearful or given to weeping", a lake made of tears or prone to causing them. freaking brilliant.

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

J.D. Salinger
“It was that kind of a crazy afternoon, terrifically cold, and no sun out or anything, and you felt like you were disappearing every time you crossed a road.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

Elie Wiesel
“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
