Lemony Snicket Quote #1
...in life it is often the tiny details that end up being the most important.
Lemony Snicket Quote #2

...The sea... some have said is nothing but a library of all the tears in history.
Lemony Snicket Quote #4

..no matter how much one reads, the whole story can never be told.
Lemony Snicket Quote #6
«Reconocer el terreno» significa observar un lugar concreto para poder urdir un plan. Por ejemplo, si eres un ladrón de bancos —aunque espero que no sea así—, quizá vayas al banco unos días antes de robarlo. Quizá con un disfraz, mires aquí y allá, observando a los guardas de seguridad, las cámaras y otros obstáculos, para poder planear cómo evitar que te capturen o te maten en el transcurso del robo.
Lemony Snicket Quote #7
A good library will never be too neat, or too dusty, because somebody will always be in it, taking books off the shelves and staying up late reading them.
Lemony Snicket Quote #8
A letter may be coded, and a word may be coded. A theatrical performance may be coded, and a sonnet may be coded, and there are times when it seems the entire world is in code. Some believe that the world can be decoded by performing research in a library. Others believe that the world can be decoded by reading a newspaper.
Lemony Snicket Quote #9
A long time ago, there was no such thing as school, and children spent their days learning a trade, a phrase which here means standing around doing tedious tasks under the instruction of a bossy adult. In time, however, people realized that the children could be allowed to sit, and the first school was invented.
Lemony Snicket Quote #10
A man of my acquaintance once wrote a poem called The Road Less Traveled, describing a journey he took through the woods along a path most travelers never used. The poet found that the road less traveled was peaceful but quite lonely, and he was probably a bit nervous as he went along, because if anything happened on the road less traveled, the other travelers would be on the road more frequently traveled and so couldn't hear him as he cried for help. Sure enough, that poet is dead.
Lemony Snicket Quote #11
A menos que hayáis sido muy, muy afortunados, habréis experimentado sucesos en vuestra vida que os habrán hecho llorar. Así pues, a menos que hayáis sido muy, muy afortunados, sabréis que una buena y larga sesión de llanto a menudo puede haceros sentir mejor, aunque vuestras circunstancias no hayan cambiado lo más mínimo.
Lemony Snicket Quote #12
A new experience can be extremely pleasurable, or extremely irritating, or somewhere in between, and you never know until you try it out.
Lemony Snicket Quote #13
A passport, as I'm sure you know, is a document that one shows to government officials whenever one reaches a border between two countries, so that the official can learn who you are, where you were born, and how you look when photographed unflatteringly.
Lemony Snicket Quote #14
A secret note is secret. There is no reason to sign it.
Lemony Snicket Quote #15
Algunas veces, sólo decir que odias algo y que alguien esté de acuerdo contigo puede hacer que te sientas mejor, a pesar de lo terrible de la situación.
Lemony Snicket Quote #16
All cannot be lost when there is still so much being found
Lemony Snicket Quote #17

Lemony Snicket Quote #18
An Overall Feeling of Doom that One Cannot Ever Escape no Matter What One Does
Lemony Snicket Quote #19
Anyone who knew Violet well could tell she was thinking hard, because her long hair was tied up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes. Violet had a real knack for inventing and building strange devices, so her brain was often filled with images of pulleys, levers, and gears, and she never wanted to be distracted by something as trivial as her hair.
Lemony Snicket Quote #20
Are you ready? Klaus asked finally.
No, Sunny answered.
Me neither, Violet said, but if we wait until we're ready we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives, Let's go.Lemony Snicket Quote #21
Are you saying that being a criminal is a matter of opinion? I asked.
Qwerty smiled, but it was sad around the edges. No, he said. It's a matter of handcuffs.Lemony Snicket Quote #22
As I am sure you know, when people say 'It's my pleasure,' they usually mean something along the lines of, 'There's nothing on Earth I would rather do less.' [...]
Lemony Snicket Quote #23
As I'm sure you know, there are two types of What? in the world. The first type simply means Excuse me, I didn't hear you. Could you please repeat yourself? The second type is a little trickier. It means something more along the lines of Excuse me, I did hear you, but I can't believe that's really what you meant.
Lemony Snicket Quote #24
As she worked, she remembered something her parents had said to her when Klaus was born, and against when they brought Sunny home from the hospital. 'you are the eldest Baudelaire child,' they had said, kindly but firmly. 'And as the eldest, it will always be your responsibility to look after your younger siblings. Promise us that you will always watch out for them and make sure they don't get into trouble.
Lemony Snicket Quote #25
Así pues, a menos que hayáis sido muy, muy afortunados, sabréis que una buena y larga sesión de llanto a menudo puede haceros sentir mejor, aunque vuestras circunstancias no hayan cambiado lo más mínimo.
Lemony Snicket Quote #26
At times the world may seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe that there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. and what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events may in fact be the first steps of a journey.
Lemony Snicket Quote #27
Being curious is the most important part of being a journalist. It might be the most important part of being anything.
Lemony Snicket Quote #28
Boredom is not black licorice, Snicket, she said. There's no reason to share it with me.
Lemony Snicket Quote #29
But even if they could go home it would be difficult for me to tell you what the moral of the story is. In some stories, it's easy. The moral of 'The Three Bears', for instance, is Never break into someone else's house. The moral of 'Snow White' is Never eat apples. The moral of World War One is Never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand.
Lemony Snicket Quote #30
But like so many unfortunate events in life, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't so.
