love without proof

On this side of the door, your parents will ignore you for work, blame you for being noisy, not cook delicious meals for you, or buy you things you love.
On the other side of the door, rich food, beautiful garden, always caring about your mother, trying to make your father happy. You have everything you want.
So, before the ghost mother took out the buttonhole, Coraline even considered whether to stay forever.
Children always wonder why they can get a lot of sweets and toys when they go to uncles and aunts they don't see often, but such requests are often rejected at their parents. Why do strangers you meet for the first time kindly praise you for being smart and cute, but your parents always point out your shortcomings. Is it because they ignore you or hate you? On the contrary, it is because they love you. Parents care not only about your feelings, but also about your life. What parents want to see is not only your happiness, but also your growth.
People who get along day and night are never as friendly as those who meet occasionally, and people who truly love you are never as happy as those who want you to feel that they love you.
Therefore, we should all be thankful that God gave two people who must love you before we can distinguish right from wrong. Then protect them with what they taught us.

Coraline quotes

  • Other Father: [robotic] All will be swell, soon as Mother's refreshed. Her strength is our strength...

    [one of the robotic hands closes his mouth forcefully]

    Other Father: Mustn't... talk when Mother's not here.

    Coraline Jones: If you won't even talk to me, I'm gonna find the other Wybie. He'll help me.

    Other Father: No point.

    [face distorts]

    Other Father: He pulled a loooong face... and Mother didn't like it.

  • Coraline Jones: [on the "Other" Mother] Why does she want me?

    Cat: She wants something to love, I think. Something that isn't her. Or, maybe she'd just love something to eat.

    Coraline Jones: Eat? That's ridiculous, mothers don't eat... daughters.

    Cat: I don't know. How do you taste?

    [chuckles]
