Dead women tell no tales. Sad men write them down.

Image
Sometimes, even the best of plans will occur to you when it is too late.
Daniel Handler
Image
In times of extreme stress, one can often find energy hidden in even the most exhausted areas of the body.
Daniel Handler
Image
I often can't remember which scenes are and aren't in the final product, because I saw so many different versions of the Lemony Snicket that I forget which ended up on the cutting-room floor.
Daniel Handler
Image
It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.
Daniel Handler
Image
Every last souvenir of the love we had, the prizes & the debris of this relationship, like the glitter in the gutter when the parade has passed, all the everything & whatnot kicked to the curb.

Miracles can happen, even to those who are small, flammable, and dressed all in black.
