Cornelia Funke Quote: “Odd that your heart didn’t simply stop when it hurt so much.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “The only way ghosts can hurt you is through your own fear.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “How clear one’s own desires become once they are made impossible.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “A child in the woods. A child with an army.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Molotov explained how that book, should one be foolish enough to open it, gave the power to read things and creatures out of any book in the world.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “The road went ever more steeply downhill. Overhead, the branches of the trees intertwined. It was a still, windless morning, cloudy and damp.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Mortimer!” Orpheus produced a derisive smile, although with some difficulty. “Is your head buried so deep in your wine jug that you don’t know what’s going on in this world of yours? He’s not doing any reading now. The bookbinder prefers to play the outlaw these days – the role you created especially for him.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “They were her home when she was somewhere strange. They were familiar voices, friends that never quarreled with her, clever, powerful friends – daring and knowledgable, tried and tested adventurers who had traveled far and wide. Her books cheered her up when she was sad and kept her from being bored while Mo cut leather and fabric to the right size and re-stitched old pages that over countless years had grown fragile from the many fingers leafing through them.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “If you’re going to start tonight there’s no time to waste. Certainly not enough time to finish your quarrel with this dim-witted mushroom-muncher.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Because by now Elinor had understood this, too: A longing for books was nothing compared with what you could feel for human beings. The books told you about that feeling. The books spoke of love, and it was wonderful to listen to them, but they were no substitute for love itself. They couldn’t kiss her like Meggie, they couldn’t hug her like Resa, they couldn’t laugh like Mortimer. Poor books, poor Elinor.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “She was gone. And his heart was beating too loud and too fast. Into nothingness.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “He looked so glorious. Just like the knights I had dreamed about when I was six years old, whacking at brambles iin our garden, imagining I was fighting dragons and giants with a sword that made me invincible and wearing armor that protected me from all the things that frightened me – older kids, dogs, a storm in the knight, or my little sister’s questions about when our father would be coming back.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “I’m only a kind of book doctor. I can give books new bindings, rejuvenate them a little, stop the bookworms from eating them, and prevent them from losing their pages over the years like a man loses his hair. But inventing the stories in them, filling new, empty pages with right words – I can’t do that. That’s a very different trade. A famous writer once wrote, ‘An author can be seen as three things: a storyteller, a teacher, or magician – but a magician, the enchanter, is in the ascendant.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “And this time he would have said it, right? I love you. So much. Too much. But that was forbidden. For all time. The Elf would take his heart in payment.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Wood always remembers it was once a living tree, alive and breathing in both kingdoms, the one above and the one below.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “There it was, that familiar fear, love’s terrible price.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “He sought her lips as if he needed to breathe through her, as if only she could keep him from choking on his rage.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “It had always been a myth that it was those who loved you who could see through you. It was those you feared who could see through you most clearly.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Yesterday. Was there a more merciless word?”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “But his heart, strangely enough, told him something else.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Only to be expected!′ Elinor’s voice almost cracked. Belligerent as a Bull Terrier, she marched up to him.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Don’t let it worry you, not being able to speak,‘Dustfinger had often told her. ‘People tend not to listen anyway, right?”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Everyone living around this lake thinks I’m crazy, and if we go back to the police with this story, then the news that Elinor Loredan has finally flipped will be all over the place. Which just goes to show that a passion for books is extremely unhealthy.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Resa longed for the kitchen, always full of the humming of the oversize fridge, for mo’s workshop in the garden, and the armchair in the library where you could sit and visit strange worlds without getting lost in them.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Never develop a passion you can’t afford. It’ll eat your heart away like a bookworm.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “What terrible human presumption it is to catch other living creatures and hold them captive!”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Well what does it matter,′ he muttered when he was out in the corridor. ‘Who wants to know the end of a story in advance?”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “The unicorns lifted their heads. Of course they weren’t white. Why were things in this world always white-washed? Their hides were brown and grey, mottled black, and pale yellow like the autumn sun drifting through the damp fog above.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “After all, that was what you wanted from books: great emotions you’d never felt yourself, pain you could leave behind by closing the book if it got too bad. Death and destruction felt deliciously real conjured up with the right words, and you could leave them behind between the pages as you pleased, at no cost or risk to yourself.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “He pressed his fist to where his heart had once beaten, and I did the same. I’m sure I looked like a total idiot, but I think we all do when we’re really happy. Except for Longspee. He just looked fabulous being happy.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Love is always a prison.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “To never let the other forget who they are – love is also about that.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Nonsense!” she shouted. “Where are you going to go? We all belong together. Your problems are our problems.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “An author can be seen as three things: a storyteller, a teacher or a magician – but the magician, the enchanter is in the ascendant.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “The wrong boy. But what did the heart care about that?”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “If ye see the laird, tell him what ye hear; tell him this makes the twelve hunner and nineteen time that Jennet Clouston has called down the curse on him and his house, byre and stable, man, guest and master, wife, miss, or bairn – black, black be their fall.” Robert Louis Stevenson, Kidnapped.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Home! That was what they meant, those caressing appeals, those soft touches wafted through the air, those invisible little hands pulling and tugging, all one way. Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Love is a deadly affair.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “The Hartliebs had no time for the snow. Outside their window, San Giorgio Maggiore seemed to be floating on the lagoon as if it had just surfaced there. The view was so beautiful that Victor felt his heart ache. Esther and her husband, however, stood side by side with their backs to the window.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “He closed the window, and the scents of the past again flooded the room, like a bunch of wilted flowers.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Have you forgotten?” she replied. “In our world, the Witches work in hospitals.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “He simply didn’t see the world as it really was, that was the explanation – neither the world nor the people he felt so sorry for. Because if you did see them for what they were, what on earth would make you want to fight and even die for them?”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “What nonsense! I just like to believe in fairy tales.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Victor,” he asked, “what do adults do all day?” “Work,” Victor answered, “eat, shop, pay bills, use the phone, read newspapers, drink coffee, sleep.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “They have become so lost in their own darkness that they see nothing but darkness in everything.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Jealousy still gave him a pang. The heart was a stupid thing.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Well, one thing’s for sure, they’re very strange names, and that’s putting it mildly.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “We will never have the wealth of experience our immortal creators have. Yet I find comfort in the thought that this limited lifespan gives our minds, at times, refreshing freedom.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Happy was not a word Nerron usually used to describe himself. It was, in his eyes, an emotional state only possible when paired with stupidity.”
Cornelia Funke Quote: “Do you remember the sound my heart made when it broke?”
