Quote by Lemony Snicket

“What does 'giddy' mean?" Violet asked, when they had finished reading the note. "'Dizzy and excited,'" Klaus said, having learned the word from a collection of poetry he'd read in first grade. "I guess he means excited about Peru. Or maybe he's excited about having a new assistant." "Or maybe he's excited about us," Violet said.”

“Bambini!" Uncle Monty cried out from the front door. "Come along, bambini!" The Baudelaire orphans raced back through the hedges to where their new guardian was waiting for them. "Violet, Uncle Monty," Violet said. "My name is Violet, my brother's is Klaus, and Sunny is our baby sister. None of us is named Bambini." "'Bambini' is the Italian word for 'children,'" Uncle Monty explained. "I had a sudden urge to speak a little Italian. I'm so excited to have you three here with me, you're lucky I'm not speaking gibberish.”

“And here is the point, about myself and my co-thinkers. Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely solely upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake.”

“Sabía que de tanto en tanto había cometido errores; pero no dejaba que le rompieran el corazón. Incluso con este último y más grande de todos, su corazón no se había roto. Peyna sabía, al igual que nosotros en nuestro propio mundo, que el camino del infierno está empedrado de buenas intenciones. También sabía que, para los seres humanos, a veces las buenas intenciones sólo se quedan en eso. Los ángeles podrían estar a salvo del castigo eterno, pero las personas eran criaturas menos afortunadas, para las que el infierno siempre se encuentra cerca.”
