More quotes by Garth Nix
Charity is a very labour-intensive virtue.
Garth Nix
A hundred hundred heartbeats... whispered Sabriel, tears falling down her face.
Garth Nix
A Kiss, said Mogget sleepily. Actually, just a breath would do. But you have to start kissing someone sometime, I suppose. A breath? she asked. She didn't want to kiss just any wooden man. He looked nice enough, but he might not be like his looks. A kiss seemed too forward.
Garth Nix
More advice. Don't go near the Old One. Do go near the Old One. Don't stay past twelve. Trust the Will. Don't trust the Will. I wish someone would tell me something straightforward for once.
Garth Nix
May I say that I approve of a piece that tries to remake the entire puzzle?
Garth Nix
Fear and realisation of ignorance, strong medicines against stupid pride.
Garth Nix
Being published is not a necessary validation or a path everyone wants to take with their work. Writing—and finishing—a novel is a great thing in itself, whether or not the book is published, or becomes widely-read or not.
Garth Nix
Knowledge, like all things, is best in moderation, intoned the Will. Knowing everything means you don't need to think, and that is very dangerous.
Garth Nix
Even now, she wished she could write a note, push it across the table, and go away to her room. But she was no longer a Second Assistant Librarian of the Great Library of the Clayr. Those days were gone, vanished with everything else that had defined her previous existence and identity.
Garth Nix
For everyone and everything, there is a time to die. Some do not know it, or would delay it, but its truth cannot be denied. Not when you look into the stars of the ninth gate.
Garth Nix
Hear, hear, said the Dog, raising her head. It's always better to be doing, Prince. Besides, you don't smell like a coward, so you can't be one.
Garth Nix
I certainly have had experiences of a sense of wonder at the world and a feeling that even though it could all be explained rationally, it still feels that there is more to it.
Garth Nix
So I'll do that, and I'll do my best and if my best isn't good enough, at least I will have done everything I could, everything that is in me. I don't have to try to be someone else, someone I could never be.
Garth Nix
I love you, he whispered. I hope you don't mind.
Garth Nix
Five Great Charters knit the land Together linked, hand in hand One in the people who wear the crown Two in the folk who keep the Dead down Three and Five became stone and mortar Four sees all in frozen water.
Garth Nix
Nick shook his head and found to his surprise that he did have tears left after all. He wasn't surprised by a talking cat. The world was crumbling around him and anything could happen.
Garth Nix
Time plays tricks between here and home, said Mogget sepulchrally, frightening the life out of the telephone operator.
Garth Nix
Time and death sleep side by side.
Garth Nix
My parents are going to kill me! That seems rather harsh.
Garth Nix
Fine! muttered Mogget. Wet, cold, and full of holes. Another fun day on the river.
