“Oh- my twitchy witchy girl
I think you are so nice,

With bugs
In.”
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“Solitary people, these book lovers. I think it's swell that there are people you don't have to worry about when you don't see them for a long time, you don't have to wonder what they do, how they're getting along with themselves. You just know that they're all right, and probably doing something they like.”
― Helen Oyeyemi, Mr. Fox
