    Tears filled my eyes, telling the story of growing up so sad, the pain pounding the heart, touching the pain tenderly, brewing the emotions to the strongest, after understanding, but feeling mixed and helpless.

A Monster Calls quotes

  • [first lines]

    Conor: [having a nightmare] Mama! Mama!

    Conor: [waking] How does the story begin?

    The Monster: It begins like so many stories. With a boy, too old to be a kid. Too young to be a man. And a nightmare.

  • The Monster: [telling a story] "You may have the yew tree," said the parson. "I will preach sermons in your favor. I will do anything if it would only save my daughters."

    The Monster: "Would you give up everything you believed in?" said the apothecary.

    The Monster: [as the Parson] "If it would save them, I would give up everything."

    The Monster: [as the Apothecary] "Then there is nothing I can do to help you."
