Is it OK not to be a virgin, yes. Most people aren’t virgins, Min. That’s why there’s people to begin with.
I’m not a cuckoo, either. I’m a fool is what.
You know I want to be a director, but you could never truly see the movies in my head and that, Ed, is why we broke up.
Even the best plans can change if there’s an accident.
The way that the stories go in the Snicket books is just the way stories naturally go to me. They’re full of misery, and yet the misery ends up being slightly hilarious. And in terms of the warnings on the back of the books, that really started as an honest assessment of their marketability.
The story of the Baudelaires takes place in a very real world, where some people are laughed at just because they have something wrong with them, and where children can find themselves all alone in the world, struggling to understand the mystery that surrounds them.
You can’t believe everything you read.
Everybody will die, but very few people want to be reminded of that fact.

All cannot be lost when there is still so much being found.
I never want to be away from you again, except at work, in the restroom or when one of us is at a movie the other does not want to see.
I think if I were walking someplace and I saw a corpse my brain would tell me it was a million things before I believed it was a corpse.
Olaf: Of course I’m trying to trick you! That’s the way of the world, Baudelaires. Everyone runs around with their secrets and their schemes, trying to outwit everyone else.
For Beatrice, I cherished, you perished, The world’s been nightmarished.
For Beatrice, our love broke my heart, and stopped yours.
I always think it’s silly when people talk about works of culture taking risks. Because there’s not any risk involved.
For Beatrice, when we met, my life began. Soon afterwards, yours ended.
I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday.
If you know somebody very well, like your grandmother or your baby sister, you will know when they are real and when they are fake.
Count Olaf certainly does sound evil. Imagine forcing children to stand near a stove!
