CORALINE

'The world will be built new for you every morning. If you stay here, you can have whatever you want.'  ~   Coraline sighed. 'You really don't understand, do you?' she said. 'I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted? Just like that, and it didn't mean anything. What then?'

I first read Coraline simply because its my best friends favourite - I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I am. The great thing about children's books is that they purposefully entail morals and life lessons to teach the young audience. This quote simply brings around the often argued statement that, 'You need bad in your life to appreciate the good.'
