I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I'll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I'll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.

With the publishing of The Basic Eight, it was often assumed that I was really immature and callow, and with the publishing of Watch Your Mouth, it was assumed that I was oversexualized, and with Lemony Snicket, it's often assumed that I'm erudite and depressed. But all the voices more or less came naturally to me.

It was a secret time and place, you next to me, untraceable and out of this world
Daniel Handler
Image
It is my fate that some of my questions will never be answered.
Daniel Handler
Image
There is no easy way to train an apprentice. My two tools are example and nagging.
Daniel Handler
