A loud, hollow coughing followed, dying away into more moaning. Sophie kept muttering to the dog and ignored it. "Meanwhile a certain amount of moaning and groaning was coming from upstairs. "'She said 'Over my dead body!' so I took her at her word.' -the Witch of the Waste" - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "Sophie did not care to think how Howl might react if Fanny woke him by stabbing him with her parasol." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "What a strange family you are! Is your name Lettie too?" - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "She was remorseless, but she lacked method." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "Nobody can buy a hat without gossiping." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "Nobody gets praised for the right reasons." - Diana Wynne Jones (Castle in the Air) 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again’." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "You've no right to walk into people's castles and take their guitars." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) What did you do to the King?" - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "I make that four horses and ten men just to get rid of one old woman. ‘I’m right here.’- Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time." - Diana Wynne Jones (Castle in the Air) Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) "In the land of Ingary where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of the three. "I hope your bacon burns." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) You're victimizing us all." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) You're a dreadfully nosy, horribly bossy, appallingly clean old woman.

"You must admit I have a right to live in a pigsty if I want." - Diana Wynne Jones (Howl's Moving Castle) Sophie, I'm dying of boredom in here, or maybe just dying.
