The inspiration was first my own relationship with my father, then Atticus and Scout (in the original book:) and finally Brendan Fraser, who was my model for a character who is sometimes so boyish a father that his daughter Meggie does some mothering:)(less)

Quotes by Cornelia Funke  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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

“Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times?" Mo had said..."As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar.”
Cornelia Funke, Inkspell

“Books have to be heavy because the whole world's inside them.”
Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
