Quotes from The Magician's Elephant: "It is winter," sang the beggar. "It is dark and cold, and things are not what they seem, and the truth is forever changing." "Soldiers do not weep; at least, they should not weep. It is not to be borne, the weeping of soldiers. Something is amiss in the universe when a soldier cries." "He was hungry," said Adele. She felt an unsolicited tear roll down her cheek. It was followed by another and then another. "So what?" said Lisette. "Who do you know of who isn't hungry?" "Enough," said Gloria. "No," said Leo Matienne, "not enough. Never enough. We must ask ourselves these questions as often as we dare. How will the world change if we do not question it?" If she appeared beside him right now, he would show her the star that was sometimes visible through his window. He would say to her, "Have you, in truth, ever seen something so heartbreakingly lovely? What are we to make of a world where stars shine bright in the midst of so much darkness and gloom?" The world is broken, thought Peter, and it cannot be fixed. "Magic is always impossible," said the magician. "It begins with the impossible and ends with the impossible and is impossible in between. That is why it is magic." I hope this is enough to convince you to go read the book RIGHT NOW. This woman is amazing... I don't care if they're children's books or whether people look at me weirdly for reading something with pictures and huge text on the mrt. Tale of Desperaux, you're next. EDIT: I forgot. About that genius of unspeakable evil book from the last post? IT IS AWESOME. Not in a nice story or nice writing kind of way, but... it made me laugh so hard. Oliver Watson~ The only nice line from it was "It was like I was looking at the world through the beating of dragonfly wings" or something like that. And that's only because I like dragonflies. but whatever. It's awesome and I'm glad I bought it despite accusatory looks from my mum. |
