More quotes by 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
If an action must be taken that will benefit the majority at the cost of the minority, is it morally indefensible? If an action taken for the benefit of a majority occurs at the expense of a minority, is it moral action?
Garth Nix
Time plays tricks between here and home, said Mogget sepulchrally, frightening the life out of the telephone operator.
Garth Nix
There is always a choice, even if the alternatives don't appear to be equal.
Garth Nix
There were also very special or dangerous items that had to be fetched in person, or even by large parties of armed librarians.

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
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
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
May I say that I approve of a piece that tries to remake the entire puzzle?
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
Double, treble, quadruple bubble, watch the stock market get into trouble.
Garth Nix
A hundred hundred heartbeats... whispered Sabriel, tears falling down her face.
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
Unhand my tail! squealed the Will.
Garth Nix
Ow do you knock out a Denizen? asked Suzy. I tried it myself once or twice, but just hitting them never works. It is not the force of the blow, but the authority with which it is delivered, quoth the raven.
Garth Nix
Fish and fowl, warm sun and shady trees, the field mice in the wheat, under the cool light of the moon.
Garth Nix
Fear and realisation of ignorance, strong medicines against stupid pride.
Garth Nix
Fine! muttered Mogget. Wet, cold, and full of holes. Another fun day on the river.
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
I can see time, whispered Mogget, so softly that his words were lost.
