Great Writing Quotes by Author Cornelia Funke

All writers are lunatics!

Writing stories is a kind of magic, too.

Stories never really end...even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don't end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page.

A reader doesn't really see the characters in a story; he feels them.

A library book, I imagine, is a happy book.

Books have to be heavy because the whole world's inside them.

The world was a terrible place, cruel, pitiless, dark as a bad dream. Not a good place to live. Only in books could you find pity, comfort, happiness - and love. Books loved anyone who opened them, they gave you security and friendship and didn't ask anything in return; they never went away, never, not even when you treated them badly.
