« "What's the best way of thinking about the secret commonwealth, then, Master Brabandt?"
"You gotta think about it the same way as if you want to see it. You got to look at it sideways. Out the corner of your eye. So you gotta think about it out the corner of your aye. It's there and it en't, both at the same time [...]. And if you want to think about them it don't do no good making lists and classifying and analysing. You'll just get a lot o'dead rubbish what means nothing. The way to think about the secret commonwealth is with stories. Only stories'll do." »

Oxford : 2019, David Fickling Books, Penguin Books, p. 312.

« It brought with it a mood she hadn't felt for so long that it was unfamiliar, and welcomed it almost apprehensively: it was a quiet conviction, underlying every circumstance, that all was well and that the world was her true home, as if there were great secret powers that would see her safe. »
