More quotes by Diana Wynne Jones
You've probably all had those kinds of dreams that are like usual life, except that a lot of things are not the same, and you seem to know the future in them. Well, this is because these other worlds where two things can happen spread out from our world like rainbows, and sort of flow into one another-

Typical! I break my neck trying to get here, and I find you peacefully tidying up!
Diana Wynne Jones
Oh! Polly thought. Why aren't all girls locked up by law the year they turn fifteen? They do such stupid things!
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!
Diana Wynne Jones
Look. Survey. Inspect. My hair is ruined! I look like a pan of bacon and eggs!
Diana Wynne Jones
My shining dishonesty will be the salvation of me.
Diana Wynne Jones
And you're too nice, he added, above the lap-lap of the water and the patter of sand on the water-lily leaves. I was relying on you being too jealous to let that demon near the place.

Theseus made unscrupulous use of Ariadne (whom he left on an island where Bacchus later found her-I always think that really meant she took to drink, poor girl).
Diana Wynne Jones
Calcifer, Sophie said, I shall have to break your contract. Will it kill you? It would if anyone else broke it, Calcifer said hoarsely. That's why I asked you to do it.
Diana Wynne Jones
Go to bed, you fool, Calcifer said sleepily. You're drunk. Who, me? said Howl. I assure you, my friends, I am cone sold stober. He got up and stalked upstairs, feeling for the wall as if he thought it might escape him unless he kept in touch with it. His bedroom door did escape him.
Diana Wynne Jones
And it's a pity too that I've no right to open your letters. I hope you don't get many, or my conscience will give me no peace.
Diana Wynne Jones
Oh confound that gray-and-scarlet suit! Sophie said. I refuse to believe that I was the one that got caught with it!

Diana Wynne Jones
Sorry, I've had enough of running away, Sophie. Now I've got something I want to protect. It's you.
Diana Wynne Jones
A heart's a heavy burden.
Diana Wynne Jones
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
I'm delirious. Spots are crawling before my eyes. Those are spiders.
Diana Wynne Jones
He picked up the skull and knocked an onion ring out of its eye socket. I see Sophie has been busy again. Couldn't you have restrained her, my friend? The skull yattered its teeth at him. Howl put it down rather hastily.
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
I seem to have excalibured this knife.
