Favorite Quotes
- I am a character in this story… who sees everything, knows everything. I will not tell you who I am. See if you can guess.
- The spelling book thanks you for reading, and would gently remind you that things generally turn out all right in the end.
- In order to explain them, I will have to go back in time, exactly fifteen minutes. Of course, in real life, turning back time is impossible. I think I’ve already mentioned that. But contrariwise, I can do it, for I am the god of this story and this have rather more Magic than perhaps is quite good for me.
- This is the problem with adventures. They bring out parts of you that you never even knew were there.
- You have to listen to the stories, for stories always mean something.
