Les Misérables - A Father's Revelation of His Past
Cosette:
Please tell me what this is all about, papa. Please, please tell me what this is. Please, what is it?
Jean Valjean: [stammering]
I... I am a convict. When I was young... just your age I was very poor, I was starving. One day, I stood in front of the window. A window full of bread, there was just glass between me... and not being hungry anymore, it was so easy. So I broke it... and took what I wanted. Then they caught me... and put me in chains for almost 19 years. They did things to me... I can't tell you about it, and I did things, there in jail. Terrible things. I became an animal. They took my dignity, they took everything from me.

Stardust - Perception versus Reality in Human Nature
Yvaine:
If there's one thing I've learned in all my years watching earth—is people aren't what they may seem. There are shopboys, and, there are boys who just happen to work in shops for the time being.

Stardust - Rejecting a Misguided Romantic Gesture
Yvaine: [sarcastic, when Tristan has told her that he intends to make her a present to Victoria]
But of course! Nothing says "romance" like a gift of a kidnapped injured woman! I'm not going anywhere with you!

Stardust - The Journey of a Fallen Star
Yvaine:
Yeah, this is where it fell. It is. Or, if you want to get really specific, up there is where it was when this weird, bloody necklace knocked it out of the Heavens when it was minding its own business. And over there is where it landed. And right here... this is where is got hit by a magical flying moron!
