"...What about my so-called sewing basket? I don't even know where it is."
"I do," Mart said. "It's in the attic. When I lifted the top, after brushing away several yards of cobwebs, a few moths flew out. So I said to myself, 'If only moths frequent this spot, this is it.' Upon further examination, I deduced that, at one time, the strawberry-shaped pincushion had come in contact with Bobby, for it, too, had a hole in its head. So, I thrust the diamond inside it, replaced the top on the basket- and the cobwebs- and dashed downstairs without arousing anyone's suspicions."
Trixie sneered. "Says you! Where, pray tell, was Bobby, while you were exploring the jungles of the attic with rod and camera?"
Mart gave her a superior glance. "In his room, replacing the toys you flung out of his toy box. Brother, is he furious! Revenge, he tells me, will be sweet. Saccharine-sweet!"...
"Well, anyway," Honey put in, "it's good to know that the diamond is in a safe place."
"I'm not at all sure of that," Trixie said worriedly. "Suppose Bobby decides to throw my sewing basket into the trash can for spite? He's too young to know that I despise the thing."
"Pooh, pooh," Mart said airily. "He probably has no idea that it belongs to you. From the evidence, I would say that it was relegated to the attic on Christmas night."
"Stop using big words," Trixie said crossly. "It's getting on my nerves. I wish I knew exactly when I did put that sewing basket up in the attic. Moths didn't really fly out when you opened it, did they, Mart?"
"That," he admitted, "was a slight exaggeration. But the cobwebs were in no way exaggerated."
"They mean nothing," Trixie said. "They grow like weeds during the hot summer weather."
"They don't grow," Mart corrected her. "If you had my superior education, you would know that they are spun."

"You say 'amateur' as if it was a dirty word. 'Amateur' comes from the Latin word 'amare', which means 'to love'. To do things for the love of it." ~Mozart in the Jungle.

"I don't see how you could be scared of something you don't believe in," said Mr. Camphor.
"I don't believe in driving a car seventy miles an hour," said Bannister, "but I'd be scared to do it..."

In your darkest hour, in the blackest night...think of me...and I will be with you. Always. For where else could I go? Who else could I love but you?

'...You're forgetting something, Horus told [Carter].
A little busy here! [Carter] thought back.

     You might think it's easy steering a magic boat through the sky. You'd be wrong. I didn't have Amos's animated coat, so I stood in the back trying to shift the tiller myself, which was like stirring cement. [The boat] kept tilting back and forth while Sadie tried her best to keep an unconscious Zia from flopping over the side.

        It's my birthday, Horus insisted. Wish me happy birthday!

        "Happy birthday!' [Carter] yelled. "Now, shut up!"...'

"So this is how democracy dies... with thunderous applause." ~Star Wars

"I fear that in every elected office, members will obtain an influence by noise not sense. By meanness, not greatness. By ignorance, not learning. By contracted hearts, not large souls... There must be decency and respect.
- John Adams

"Like it!" exclaimed Uncle Andrew. "Just look at the state I'm in. And it was my best coat and waistcoat, too." He certainly was a dreadful sight by now: for of course, the more dressed up you were to begin with, the worse you look after you've crawled out of a smashed hansoncab and fallen into a muddy brook. ~The Magician's Nephew

"Well, everybody has to eat shaving cream once in a while." - David from the best movie of all time, The Stuff.

The Bear was especially kind. During the afternoon he found a wild bees' nest and instead of eating it himself (which he would very much like to have done) this worthy creature brought it back to Uncle Andrew. But this was in fact the worst failure of all. The Bear lobbed the whole sticky mass over the top of the enclosure and unfortunately it hit Uncle Andrew slap in the face (not all the bees were dead). The Bear, who would not at all have minded being hit in the face by a honeycomb himself, could not understand why Uncle Andrew staggered back, slipped, and sat down. And it was sheer bad luck that he sat down on the pile of thistles. "And anyway," as the Warthog said, "quite a lot of honey has got into the creature's mouth and that's bound to have done it some good." They were really getting quite fond of their strange pet and hoped that Aslan would allow them to keep it.

"We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia." ~The Silver Chair
