You're wearing that hat? After all the magic I used to make your dress pretty?" ~Howl from the movie 'Howl's Moving Castle
Diana Wynne JonesI only want to catch you,โ Michael explained. โI wonโt hurt you.โ โNo! No!โ the star crackled desperately. โThatโs wrong! Iโm supposed to die!โ โBut I could save you if youโd let me catch you,โ Michael told it gently. โNo!โ cried the star. โIโd rather die!
Diana Wynne JonesThere were horrendous, dramatic, violent quantities of green slimeโoodles of it. It covered Howl completely. It draped his head and shoulders in sticky dollops, heaping on his knees and hands, trickling in glops down his legs, and dripping off the stool in sticky strands. It was in oozing ponds and crawling pools over most of the floor. Long fingers of it had crept into the hearth. It smelled vile.
