The dirt is annoying, but the smell of tulips attracts me more

In fact, each of us, like Coroline, has infinite expectations and yearning for a better life. But most of the time we are accompanied by some tedious things and less desirable surroundings. So some people choose to sell their most precious things. Just like the ghost children in the movie, they exchange their own eyes for a carefree and free life, but they end up being imprisoned for life.
There are many things we desire in this world, such as fame and wealth, wealth and wealth, brocade clothing and jade food... But if all these are not built on the basis of hard work and hard work, but by selling our feelings, dignity and freedom to obtain Yes, then we will be like those ghosts in the dark room with nothing but buttoned eyes.
Although flowers are beautiful, they ultimately need the nourishment of soil. The fruit of the dream is so sweet, but it still needs to be picked through the thorns of reality. As Kundera said: Perhaps the heaviest burden is also a symbol of the most fulfilling life. The heavier the burden, the closer our life is to the earth, the closer to reality and reality. On the contrary, there is no burden at all, man becomes lighter than the atmosphere, he will fly high, and parting from the earth means parting from real life. He will become plausible, free and meaningless in movement.
I think that life is hard and boring in the first place, and it is only in the constant struggle with this kind of life that people can find the meaning of our own existence. What can measure the value of our life has never been money, power, or status. No one will remember these things whether they are born or die. Only our courage and belief in constantly overcoming difficulties and pursuing our dreams are the fundamental reasons why human beings are fragile but strong.
Never surrender to life. Never sell the soul out.

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]
