Lettie QUOTES

1 " What a strange family you are! Is your name Lettie too? "

― Diana Wynne Jones , Howl’s Moving Castle (Howl’s Moving Castle, #1)

2 " Lettie shrugged. “Nobody actually looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that. It’s true of everybody. "

3 " You get on with your own life. Lettie gave it to you. You just have to grow up and try and be worth it. "

― Neil Gaiman , The Ocean at the End of the Lane

4 " He gave Sophie the smile which had no doubt charmed the Witch of the Waste and possibly Lettie too, firing it along the fork, across the cream, straight into Sophie’s eyes, dazzlingly. “If you can bully Calcifer, the King should give you no trouble at all.”

Sophie stared through the dazzle and said nothing. This, she thought, was where she slithered out. She was leaving. It was too bad about Calcifer’s contract. She had had enough of Howl.

I told you. It's nothing special, knowing how things work. And you really do have to give it all up if you want to play." " To play what?" " This," she said. She waved at the house and the sky and the impossible full moon and the skeins and the shawls and clusters of bright stars. "

6 " Maybe. Just maybe... Lettie smiled. That would do. It might be an impossible plan but it's worth a try. "

7 " I should have never left the inn,' she whispered. 'I shouldn't have done it!'
There was something in the ground that Ma had warned in her note. It was real. And Lettie hadn't listened, and now this... "

― , The Snow Merchant

8 " That’s the moon,’ I said.‘Gran likes it like that,’ said Lettie Hempstock.‘But it was a crescent moon yesterday. And now it’s full. And it was raining. It is raining. But now it’s not.’‘Gran likes the full moon to shine on this side of the house. She says it’s restful, and it reminds her of when she was a girl,’ said Lettie. ‘And you don’t trip on the stairs. "
