creed about life

In the first story, the prince kills the beloved farmer's daughter and ascends the throne with popular support.

In the second story, the priest begged the greedy and arrogant pharmacist to save his daughter from giving up her faith, and her daughter died in the end.

The third story is that after the invisible man was discovered by everyone, he could not find the value of his existence and became more lonely.

In the fourth story, Cona has long wanted to end all this and bid farewell to the grief of her mother's impending death from cancer, so she hopes that her mother will die.

Humans are complex animals, they believe beautiful lies, but they also know the cruel truth, which is why lies exist.

There are not always good people, and there are not always bad people, and most people are somewhere in between. In the end it's not what you want that matters, it's just what you do.

Life is not a company, it is just letting go and saying goodbye.

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."
