Quotes To Remember

||Chapter Twenty-four|| The one with all the BOO-haha

Category: Halloween. I really shouldn't be explaining this.

1. “I think if human beings had genuine courage, they'd wear their costumes every day of the year, not just on Halloween. Wouldn't life be more interesting that way? And now that I think about it, why the heck don't they? Who made the rule that everybody has to dress like sheep 364 days of the year? Think of all the people you'd meet if they were in costume every day. People would be so much easier to talk to - like talking to dogs. ” 

-Douglas Coupland, The Gum Thief

2. “I wish everyday could be Halloween. We could all wear masks all the time. Then we could walk around and get to know each other before we got to see what we looked like under the masks.” - R.J. Palacio

3. “Oh how the candles will be lit and the wood of worm burn in a fiery dust. For on all Hallow's Eve will the spirits come to play, and only the fruit of thy womb will satisfy their endless roaming.” -Solange Nicole

4. “Dear ignoramuses,

Halloween is not 'a yankee holiday' celebrated only by gigantic toddlers wearing baseball caps back to front and spraying 'automobiles' with eggs. This is ignorance.

Halloween is an ancient druidic holiday, one the Celtic peoples have celebrated for millennia. It is the crack between the last golden rays of summer and the dark of winter; the delicately balanced tweak of the year before it is given over entirely to the dark; a time for the souls of the departed to squint, to peek and perhaps to travel through the gap. What could be more thrilling and worthy of celebration than that? It is a time to celebrate sweet bounty, as the harvest is brought in. It is a time of excitement and pleasure for children before the dark sets in. We should all celebrate that.

Pinatas on the other hand are heathen monstrosities and have no place in a civilised society.”                 -Jenny Colgan, Welcome To Rosie Hopkin's Sweetshop of Dreams

5. ''Pixie, kobold, elf, and sprite,

All are on their rounds tonight;

In the wan moon's silver ray,

Thrives their helter-skelter play.'' -Joel Benton

6. '''Tis now the very witching time of night,

When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out

Contagion to this world.'' -William Shakespeare

7. ''I don't know that there are real ghosts and goblins, but there are always more trick-or-treaters than neighborhood kids.''  -Robert Brault

8. ''One need not be a chamber to be haunted;

One need not be a house;

The brain has corridors surpassing

Material place.'' -Emily Dickinson

9. ''Where there is no imagination there is no horror.'' -Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.

10. ''There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.'' -George Carlin

11. Shadows of a thousand years rise again unseen, Voices whisper in the trees, "Tonight is Halloween!" -Dexter Kozen
