"Seven hearts the journey make.
Seven ways the hearts will break.
Bravest heart will carry on
When sleep is death, and hope is gone.
Look in the fiery jaws of fear
And see the answer white and clear,
Then throw away all thoughts of home,
For only then your quest is done."

Clementine

"Someone should tell you not to answer the phone in the principal's office, if that's a rule."

"Principal Rice rolled her eyes to the ceiling then, like she was looking for something up there.  Ceiling snakes maybe, just waiting to drip on you.  That's what I used to be afraid of when I was little, anyway.  Now I am not afraid of anything.

Okay, fine, I am afraid of pointy things.  But that is all.

And boomerangs."

Frindle

"Who says dog means dog? You do Nickolas.  You and I and everyone in this class and this school and this town and this state and this country.  We all agree."

"'Here's your... frindle.'
'Frindle?' Janet took her pen and looked at him like he was nuts.  She wrinkled her nose and said, 'What's a frindle?'
Nick grinned and said, 'You'll find out.  Se ya later.'"
