Catherynne M Valente Quotes
At Home, She Loved The Movies. She Loved Sitting In The Dark, Waiting For Something Wonderful To Begin. Especially, The Tragic And Frightening Movies In Which Ladies Fainted Dead Away And Monsters Roared Up Out Of The Dark. Like In That Cartoon Her Mother Had Taken Her To See When She Was Very Small, In Which The Dark-haired Princess Ran Away Into The Terrible Forest And The Owls Flew At Her And Pecked At Her Hands. That Was Wonderful--because The World Was Suddenly Alive And Excited And Wanted Things Just The Way September Herself Sometimes Wanted Things. Even If The World Seemed Mainly Not To Want A Princess Bothering It. September Had Not Liked The Princess So Much, Either, As She Had A High, Breathy Voice She Found Deeply Annoying. But The Owls And The Mines And The Flashing Eyes In The Wood--that She Had Liked.
