Quotes
"Right now I want a word that describes the feeling you get--a cold, sick feeling deep down inside--when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don't want it to, but you can't stop it. And you know, for the first time, for the very first time, that there will now be a before and an after, a was and a will be. And that you will never again be quite the same person you were." -Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light
"Do I want a glass of milk? I couldn't possibly. After all, there are a lot of thirsty people in this room, and say, is that whole milk then? Well, no no, I couldn't just take it without giving you something... (sound of a glass of milk being rapidly consumed)...or even presume that glass of milk was for me. Oh, hmm, but it's empty. Didn't you say you had a glass of milk I might have?"
"I know, let's have fish. What? Ok. Well, how about we have trout? No? I think I can find some mahi mahi... But, why are we having pizza when you just said we could have salmon?"
"I did not take this, I found it lying on the table. Obviously I can't assume that just because it's your table that everything lying on top of it is yours too."
"Do you mind moving out of that chair? The sunlight stopped shining on my spot."
"We were worshipped you know...I miss that part."
