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."
