Lemony Snicket Quotes
“One of the most difficult things to think about in lie is one’s regrets. Something will happen to you, and you will do the wrong thing, and for years afterward you will wish you done something different.”
“The way sadness works is one of the strangest riddles of the world.”
“When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.”
“...you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.”
“Strange as it may seem, I still hope for the best, even though the best, like an interesting piece of mail, so rarely arrives, and even when it does it can be lost so easily.”
“Arguing with somebody is never pleasant, but sometimes it is useful and necessary to do so.”
“Friends can make you feel that the world is smaller and less sneaky than it really is, because you know people who have similar experiences.”
“There are many difficult things in this world to hide, but a secret is not one of them.”
“It is a miracle if you can find true friends, and it is a miracle if you have enough food to eat, and it is a miracle if you get to spend your days and evenings doing whatever it is you like to do, and the holiday season - like all the other seasons - is a good time not only to tell stories of miracles, but to think about the miracles in your own life, and to be grateful for them, and that's the end of this particular story.”
“...it is a sad truth in life that when someone has lost a loved one, friends sometimes avoid the person, just when the presence of friends is most needed.”
“I'm sure you have heard it said that appearance does not matter so much, and that it is what's on the inside that counts. This is, of course, utter nonsense, because if it were true then people who were good on this inside would would never have to comb their hair or take a bath, and the whole world would smell even worse than it already does.”
“One of the most difficult things to think about in life is one's regrets. Something will happen to you, and you will do the wrong thing and for years afterward you will wish you had done something different.”
“It is much, much worse to receive bad news through the written word than by somebody simply telling you, and I’m sure you understand why. When somebody simply tells you bad news, you hear it once, and that’s the end of it. But when bad news is written down, whether in a letter or a newspaper or on your arm in felt tip pen, each time you read it, you feel as if you are receiving the bad news again and again.”
“Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the crimes, follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would stay in our mother’s wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women.”
Well, I got inspired by a friend's blog to check out Lemony Snicket's quote.
I mean, don't you think 'The Series of Unfortunate Events' is amazing?
The quotes in the stories just makes you agree with it and think about life.
