“Sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree

O woe is me,
O woe is me,
I used to have a hamster tree,
But it was eaten by a newt,
And now I have no cuddly fruit,
O woe is me,
O woe is me,
I used to have a hamster tree!”
― Clive Barker, Abarat

“You know, in Fairyland-Above they said that the underworld was full of devils and dragons. But it isn’t so at all! Folk are just folk, wherever you go, and it’s only a nasty sort of person who thinks a body’s a devil just because they come from another country and have different notions. It’s wild and quick and bold down here, but I like wild things and quick things and bold things, too.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

“Threats are the last resort of a man with no vocabulary.”
― Tamora Pierce, Lady Knight

“Conceal me what I am, and be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent.”
― William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night
