"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."
— Cornelia Funke (Inkheart)

"Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page."
— Cornelia Funke (Inkspell)

"Books have to be heavy because the whole world's inside them."
— Cornelia Funke (Inkheart)
