“We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote, how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt--I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“-Per favore. Come ti chiami?- domandò al gatto. -Senti, io mi chiamo Coraline. Okay?
Il gatto sbadigliò lentamente e con attenzione, rivelando una bocca e una lingua di un rosa sorprendente. - I gatti non hanno nome - disse.
- No?
- No - disse il gatto. - Voi persone avete il nome. E questo perché non sapete chi siete. Noi sappiamo chi siamo, perciò il nome non ci serve.”
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline

“I could not tell you if I loved you the first moment I saw you, or if it was the second or third or fourth. But I remember the first moment I looked at you walking toward me and realized that somehow the rest of the world seemed to vanish when I was with you.”
― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

“that being brave didn’t mean you weren’t scared. Being brave meant you were scared, really scared, badly scared, and you did the right thing anyway.”
― Neil Gaiman, Coraline
