Frasi di Diana Wynne Jones

“Tantrums are seldom about the thing they appear to be about.”

“I think we ought to live happily ever after.”

“I hope your bacon burns.”

“You must admit I have a right to live in a pigsty if I want.”

“Yes, you are nosy. You're a dreadfully nosy, horribly bossy, appallingly clean old woman. Control yourself. You're victimizing us all.”

“If I give you a hint and tell you it's a hint, it will be information.”

“I'm going up to my room now, where I may die.”

“Really, these wizards! You'd think no one had ever had a cold before! Well, what is it?" she asked, hobbling through the bedroom door onto the filthy carpet.
"I'm dying of boredom," Howl said pathetically. "Or maybe just dying.”

“I am a believer in free will. If my dog chooses to hate the whole human race except myself, it must be free to do so.”

“Typical! I break my neck trying to get here, and I find you peacefully tidying up!”

“You've no right to walk into people's castles and take their guitars.”

“I'm delirious. Spots are crawling before my eyes."
"Those are spiders.”

“I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold stober.”

“Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time.”

“I've got a hangover."
"No, you hit your head on the floor."
"I can't stay. I've got to rescue that fool Sophie.”

“To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.”

“I make that four horses and ten men just to get rid of one old woman. What did youto the King?”

“My shining dishonesty will be the salvation of me.”

“That's why I love spiders. 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.”

“By now it was clear that Howl was in a mood to produce green slime any second. Sophie hurriedly put her sewing away. "I'll make some hot buttered toast," she said. "Is that all you can do in the face of tragedy??" Howl asked. "Make toast!”

“So you were going to rescue the Prince! Why did you pretend to run away? To deceive the Witch?"

"Not likely! I'm a coward. Only way I can do something this frightening is to tell myself I'm not doing it!”

“She said 'Over my dead body!' so I took her at her word.”

“Look. Survey. Inspect. My hair is ruined! I look like a pan of bacon and eggs!”

“Nobody gets praised for the right reasons.”

“Things are going round and round in my head--or maybe my head is going round and round in things.”

“A heart's a heavy burden.”

“Being a hero means ignoring how silly you feel.”

“A fickle heart is the only constant in this world”

“Only thin, weak thinkers despise fairy stories. Each one has a true, strange fact hidden in it, you know, which you can find if you look.”
