Daniel Handler Feelings Quotations

It was a curious feeling, that something could be so close and so distant at the same time.

Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.

Everything else has vanished, so you take them now. Maybe if you're the one keeping them, I'll be the one feeling better.

This feeling is not unlike the sinking in one's stomach when one is in an elevator that suddenly goes down, or when you are snug in your bed and your closet door suddenly creaks open to reveal the person who has been hiding there.

An Overall Feeling of Doom that One Cannot Ever Escape no Matter What One Does

If you don’t care about something, one way to demonstrate your feelings is to say the word and then repeat the word with the letters S-C-H-M replacing the first letters. Somebody who didn’t care about dentists, for instance could say ‘Dentist, schmentists.

What happens in a certain place can stain your feelings for that location, just as ink can stain a white sheet.

Taking one’s chances is like taking a bath, because sometimes you end up feeling comfortable and warm, and sometimes there is something terrible lurking around that you cannot see until it is too late and you can do nothing else but scream and cling to a plastic duck.

It is a lonely feeling when someone you care about becomes a stranger.

Either you have the feeling or you don't. Hawk Davies
