Cornelia Funke Quote: “For Her Ugliness loved stories full of darkness. She didn’t want to be told tales of good fortune and beauty, she liked to hear about death, ugly things, secrets heavy with tears. She wanted her very own world, and it had never heard of beauty and good fortune.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “She’d been so certain she knew every crevice of his heart, but Jacob was like a country she’d only traveled through halfway.”

Cornelia Funke Quote: “Fox could’ve kissed him on the mouth just to taste the smile on his lips. Forbidden. She’d almost forgotten.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Why could she remember nothing but stories of frightened people when Capricorn looked at her?
