Cornelia Funke
You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the evidence of your eyes. You just know them.
Cornelia Funke

My son always says I like very weird music.
Cornelia Funke
Sometimes, when you're so sad you don't know what to do, it helps to be angry.
Cornelia Funke

Cornelia Funke
Nothing chased nightmares away faster than the rustle of printed paper.
