Take back the smile and the night, take it all back, I wish I could.
Daniel Handler
Image
This is like a cookie, it tastes like a cookie having sex with a doughnut.
Daniel Handler
Image
This feeling is not unlike the sinking in one's stomach when one is in an elevator that suddenly goes down, or when you are snug in your bed and your closet door suddenly creaks open to reveal the person who has been hiding there.
Daniel Handler
Image
There are many things in life that become different if you take a long look at them.
Daniel Handler

Lemony Snicket. Now, I'm told - the books, of course, starting from the very first one, became hugely popular, selling millions and millions. And I understand that when you used to go around to talk to your very young fans, you would appear as Lemony Snicket's representative or agent.

Just because something is traditional is no reason to do it, of course. Piracy, for example, is a tradition that has been carried on for hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean we should all attack ships and steal their gold.
Daniel Handler
Image
Every new promise was like something heavy I had to carry, with no place to put anything down.
Daniel Handler
Image
I do what I do, I said, in order to do something else.
Daniel Handler
Image
When I was researching my very first novel, The Basic Eight, I was calling right-wing political and religious organizations and asking them to mail me their material so that I could mock them in my novels.
Daniel Handler
Image
The Basic Eight and Watch Your Mouth both have first-person voices, and I ended up investigating those voices and investing so much in them that I think many people took them more seriously than they ought to have.
Daniel Handler
Image
...that's not why we broke up. I love it, I miss it, I hate to give it back to you, this complicated thing, it's why we stayed together
Daniel Handler
Image
A girl meets a boy, Ed, and everything changes, or so she says.
Daniel Handler
Image
It is not the diamonds or the birds, the people or the potatoes, it is not any of the nouns. The miracle is the adverbs, the way things are done. It is the way love gets done despite every catastrophe.
Daniel Handler
Image
Why not rise from the grave and terrorize a little instead of staying buried and dead in the cemetery?
Daniel Handler
Image
It was a curious feeling, that something could be so close and so distant at the same time.
Daniel Handler
Image
Adverbs is a book about love, and I thought that was pretty cheerful, but people who are reading it now are telling me that it's actually quite dark.
Daniel Handler
Image
No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.
Daniel Handler
Image
Someone can break your heart, leave you dead on the lawn, and still you never learn what to say to stop it all over again.
Daniel Handler
Image
The thing you hope will never happen to you might just happen to someone else instead, who has been spending their life dreading the thing that will happen to you.
Daniel Handler

The sad truth is the truth is sad.
