More quotes by Cornelia Funke
Let's be off before he gets his great horsey teeth into my poor lines of verse!
Cornelia Funke

Sometimes, when you’re sad you don’t know what to do, it helps to be angry. But then the tears come back again all the same, and you fall asleep with the salty taste of them on your lips.
Cornelia Funke
Every reader knows about the feeling that characters in books seem more real than real people.
Cornelia Funke
I wish I had more time to visit schools.
Cornelia Funke
Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?
Cornelia Funke
Women were different, no doubt about it. Men broke so much more quickly. Grief didn't break women. Instead it wore them down, it hollowed them out very slowly.
Cornelia Funke
We all know what fun it can be to get right into a book and live there for a while, but falling out of a story and suddenly finding yourself in this world doesn't seem to be much fun at all.
Cornelia Funke
I just did a picture book called The Wildest Brother on Earth, and you will find both of my children in there.
Cornelia Funke
You know a great many things in dreams, often despite the evidence of your eyes. You just know them.
Cornelia Funke
Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but don't come back, ok?
