Frasi di John Connolly

“And David saw himself reflected in the Woodsman's eyes, and there he was no longer old but a young man, for a man is always his father's child no matter how old he is or how long they have been apart.”

“… For a lifetime was but a moment in that place, and each man dreams his own heaven.

And in the darkness David closed his eyes, as all that was lost was found again.”

“For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be.”

“Being scared isn't the problem. It's not running away that's the hard part.”

“Each man dreams his own heaven.”

“Storiesto be read, David's mother would whisper. They needed it. It was the reason they forced themselves from their world into ours. They wanted us to give them life.”

“He had quite liked the dwarfs. He often had no idea what they were talking about, but for a group of homicidal, class-obsessed small people, they were really rather good fun.”

“We are not meant to know the time or the nature of our deaths (for all of us secretly hope that we may be immortal).”

“You had evil inside you, and you indulged it. Men will always indulge it.”

“And, in the darkness, David closed his eyes as all that was lost was found again.”

“There's a difference between living and just surviving. Do something you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do.
It is really that simple.
And that hard.”

“No matter how hard Evil tries, it can never quite match up to the power of Good, because Evil is ultimately self-destructive. Evil may set out to corrupt others, but in the process corrupts itself.”

“You don't have much faith in people, do you?' asked David. 'I don't have much faith in anything,' Roland replied. 'Not even in myself.”

“I'm a ghost," said the small figure, then added, a little uncertainly, "Boo?”

“You can't prove that something doesn't exist. You can only prove that something does exist.”

“My feelings for Raphael are mine, and mine alone. I loved him, and that is all anyone needs to know. The rest is no business of any man's.”

“I'd been hurt, and in response I had acted violently, destroying a little of myself each time I did so.”

“They were on the side of the angels, even if the angels weren't entirely sure that this was a good thing.”

“I thought it was her wicked stepmother who poisoned her…'
'… Turned out the wicked stepmother had an alibi.'
'… Seems she was off poisoning someone else at the time. Chance in a million, really. It was just bad luck.”

“Can I ever come back here' he asked, and the Woodsman said something very strange in reply.
'Most people come back here,' he said, 'in the end”

“I believe in those whom I love and trust.”

“This world is full of broken things: broken hearts, broken promises, broken people”
