"It is very useful, when one is young, to learn the difference between "literally" and "figuratively." If something happens literally, it actually happens; if something happens figuratively, it feels like it is happening.

If you are figuratively jumping for joy, it means you are so happy that you could jump for joy, but are saving your energy for other matters."

"That night was a dark day. Of course, all nights are dark days, because night is simply a badly lit version of day, ..."
Reflection


"It is useless for me to describe to you how terrible Violet, Klaus, and even Sunny felt in the time that followed. If you have ever lost someone very important to you, then you already know how it feels, and if you haven't, you cannot possibly imagine it."
