“If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.”— Lemony Snicket // The Ersatz Elevator
My sister’s exploring. She says she wants to see every inch of this penthouse. I hope she’s careful. Without a system, a person could get lost. My sister’s very resourceful.
the world is quiet here is the best phrase to come out of any book series, it’s so simple but holds so much weight. its beautiful and everyone imagines something different when they hear it and it’s such a perfect juxtaposition of the events of the series
There’s no happy endings. Not here. Not now.
❛ … what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events
may in fact be the first steps of a journey ❜
- LEMONY SNICKET
If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you’d be better off somewhere else. In this story not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning, and very few happy things in the middle.
will olaf and minions ever end. will i be forced to live the rest of my life occasionally seeing olaf and minions
Said the Baudelaire children.
Violet Baudelaire, the eldest, was one of the finest 14 year-old inventors in the world.
My name is Lemony Snicket. It is my solemn duty to bring to light the sorry history of the Baudelaire children as it happened so many years ago. But you in the audience have no such obligation, and I would advise all our viewers to turn away immediately and watch something more pleasant instead. This story will be dreadful, melancholy and calamitous, a word which here means “dreadful and melancholy.” That is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the Baudelaires.
family series: the baudelaire siblings
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were intelligent children, and they were charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features, but they were extremely unlucky, and most everything that happened to them was rife with misfortune, misery, and despair.
