The Raven and the Reindeer
Quotes from the Book
To find out what a story's really about,' the Librarian said, 'you don't ask the writer. You ask the reader.
Snow and Rose didn't know that they were living in a fairy tale--people never do.
You loved me even as a beast... In the lonely spell, your love gave me strength.
The only way is the scary way.
Rose couldn't say to Snow, to insist to her, that sometimes you lose someone in a way that means he will never read to you, or say good night or swing his around you again.
Rose pictured herself as a tidy bow, and Snow was a wild tangle.
To find out what a story's really about," the Librarian said, "you don't ask the writer. You ask the reader.
A feeling of celebration spread through the woods as the changed ones found their long-forgotten voices
Con Biancaneve so sempre cosa c'è che non va. Lei è trasparente come il vetro. Tu, invece, sei... sei fatta di una materia attraverso la quale non riesco a vedere. Legno, forse. O latte. Sei enigmatica. La mia bambina enigmatica.
La madre non sorrideva mai. Non dipingeva, non scolpiva, non faceva niente di quello che faceva prima. Si aggirava come una sonnambula, i movimenti e le conversazioni meccanici e distanti. Era più fragile di quanto fosse mai stata, ma avvolta da una pesante cappa di tristezza. E un mantello del genere occupava molto spazio in una casa tanto piccola.
