Diana Wynne Jones
Really, these wizards! You'd think no one had ever had a cold before! Well, what is it? she asked, hobbling through the bedroom door onto the filthy carpet. I'm dying of boredom, Howl said pathetically. Or maybe just dying.
Diana Wynne Jones
A heart's a heavy burden.

Diana Wynne Jones
If you must know, I-I had never in my life kissed a young lady, and you are far too beautiful to me to want to get it wrong!
Diana Wynne Jones
So you were going to rescue the Prince! Why did you pretend to run away? To deceive the Witch? Not likely! I'm a coward. Only way I can do something this frightening is to tell myself I'm not doing it!

It was only when Shona, in sheer fury, turned the carnivorous sheep among them that they moved. They ran, some of them with charming little white sheep attached to their legs or backsides and the rest shouting about monsters.

What makes you a real girl or boy is that no one laughs at you. If you are imitation or unreal, the rules give you a right to exist provided you do what the real ones or brutes say. What makes you into me or Charles Morgan is that the rules allow all the girls to be better than me and all the boys better than Charles Morgan.

Diana Wynne Jones
One does not want glory accepted as a matter of course. One wants to shock and astonish people with it.
Diana Wynne Jones
SAGE. A wise and Holy man who died a long time ago. No one modern qualifies.
Diana Wynne Jones
Howl’s voice was presently heard shouting weakly, “Help me, someone! I’m dying from neglect up here!
Diana Wynne Jones
To love someone enough to let them go, you had to let them go forever or you did not love them that much.
Diana Wynne Jones
You have no right to make jigsaws of people.
Diana Wynne Jones
I can't abide people who go soft over animals and then cheat every human they come across!
Diana Wynne Jones
Chrestomanci smiled and swept out of the room like a very long procession of one person.
Diana Wynne Jones
Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time.
Diana Wynne Jones
In the land of Ingary where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of the three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes.
Diana Wynne Jones
