Text Quotes
You would run much slower if you were dragging something behind you, like a knapsack or a sheriff  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Morning is an important time of day, because how you spend your morning can often tell you what kind of day you are going to have  (Daniel Handler Quotes) If you are trying to fool a farsighted or dimwitted person, a veiled facial disguise might be enough  (Daniel Handler Quotes) It is very unnerving to be proven wrong, particularly when you are really right and the person who is really wrong is proving you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right  (Daniel Handler Quotes) There is nothing particularly wrong with salmon, of course, but like caramel candy, strawberry yogurt, or liquid carpet cleaner, if you eat too much of it you are not going to enjoy your meal  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Lately it has become more and more difficult to attend dinner parties without the evening ending in gunfire or tapioca  (Daniel Handler Quotes) One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways  (Daniel Handler Quotes) It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing  (Daniel Handler Quotes) There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself  (Daniel Handler Quotes) The hallway was lined with numbered doors, odd numbers on one side and even numbers on the other, and large ornamental vases, too large to hold flowers and too small to hold spies  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Wishing, like sipping a glass of punch, or pulling aside a bearskin rug in order to access a hidden trapdoor in the floor, is merely a quiet way to spend one’s time before the candles are extinguished on one’s birthday cake  (Daniel Handler Quotes) When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Is it useful to feel fear, because it prepares you for nasty events, or is it useless, because nasty events will occur whether you are frightened or not?  (Daniel Handler Quotes) There is no worse sound in the world than someone who cannot play the violin but insists on doing so anyway  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Having an aura of menace is like having a pet weasel, because you rarely meet someone who has one, and when you do, it makes you want to hide under the coffee table  (Daniel Handler Quotes) A library is like an island in the middle of a vast sea of ignorance, particularly if the library is very tall and the surrounding area has been flooded  (Daniel Handler Quotes) It is often said that reading is a gift, but to my mind that is an insufficient description, for the size of the gift of reading is so vast that it is difficult to see what is outside its wrapping  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Sooner or later, everyone’s story has an unfortunate event or two... The solution, of course, is to stay as far away from the world as possible and lead a safe, simple life  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Having a personal philosophy is like having a pet marmoset, because it may be very attractive when you acquire it, but there may be situations when it will not come in handy at all  (Daniel Handler Quotes) In the secret pocket, she often kept a small pocket dictionary, which she would take out whenever she encountered a word she did not know  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Most schools have a loud system of loud bells, which startle the students and teachers at regular intervals and remind them that time is passing even more slowly than it seems  (Daniel Handler Quotes) After a certain age, you couldn’t even say where you were from. You went someplace, and lived there. And then you went someplace else  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Can’t we sleep ten minutes more? I was having a lovely dream about sneezing without covering my mouth, and giving everybody germs  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Today was a very cold and bitter day, as cold and bitter as a cup of hot chocolate, if the cup of hot chocolate had vinegar added to it and were placed in a refrigerator for several hours  (Daniel Handler Quotes) There are many, many types of books in the world, which makes good sense, because there are many, many types of people, and everybody wants to read something different  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Grief, a type of sadness that most often occurs when you have lost someone you love, is a sneaky thing, because it can disappear for a long time, and then pop back up when you least expect it  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Miracles are like pimples, because once you start looking for them you find more than you ever dreamed you’d see  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Sometimes, just saying that you hate something, and having someone agree with you, can make you feel better about a terrible situation  (Daniel Handler Quotes) It is almost as if happiness is an acquired taste, like coconut cordial or ceviche, to which you can eventually become accustomed, but despair is something surprising each time you encounter it  (Daniel Handler Quotes) Just because something is traditional is no reason to do it, of course. Piracy, for example, is a tradition that has been carried on for hundreds of years, but that doesn’t mean we should all attack ships and steal their gold  (Daniel Handler Quotes)
