Quote by Neil Gaiman

“But how can you walk away from something and still come back to it?" "Easy," said the cat. "Think of somebody walking around the world. You start out walking away from something and end up coming back to it." "Small world," said Coraline. "It's big enough for her," said the cat. "Spider's webs only have to be large enough to catch flies.”

“Tenho consciência de ser autêntica e procuro superar todos os dias minha própria personalidade, despedaçando dentro de mim tudo que é velho e morto, pois lutar é a palavra vibrante que levanta os fracos e determina os fortes. O importante é semear, produzir milhões de sorrisos de solidariedade e amizade. Procuro semear otimismo e plantar sementes de paz e justiça. Digo o que penso, com esperança. Penso no que faço, com fé. Faço o que devo fazer, com amor. Eu me esforço para ser cada dia melhor, pois bondade também se aprende!”

“Το ορκίζομαι", είπε η άλλη μητέρα. "Το ορκίζομαι στο μνήμα της ίδιας μου της μητέρας". "Έχει μνήμα;" ρώτησε η Κόραλαϊν. "Ω,ναι" είπε η άλλη μητέρα. "Εγώ η ίδια την έβαλα μέσα. Κι όταν την πήρα χαμπάρι να προσπαθεί να βγει σκάβοντας με τα δάχτυλα, την ξανάβαλα".”

“- Fuggi, finché hai aria nei polmoni e sangue nelle vene e possiedi ancora la tua mente e la tua anima - - Io non scappo – disse Coraline – I miei genitori ce li ha lei. E io sono venuta a riprendermeli - - Ah, ma lei ti terrà qui finché i giorni non diventeranno polvere, le foglie cadranno e gli anni passeranno uno dopo l’altro come il tic-tac tic-tac di un orologio - - No – disse Coraline – Non lo farà.”

“It is argued that because they believed thoroughly in a just, moral God they could put there faith there and let the smaller insecurities take care of themselves. But I think that because they trusted themselves and respected themselves as individuals, because they knew beyond doubt that they were valuable and potential moral units- because of this they could give God their own courage and dignity and then receive it back. Such things have disappeared perhaps because men do not trust themselves anymore, and when that happens there is nothing left except perhaps to find some strong sure man, even though he may be wrong, and to dangle from his coat-tails.”
