Quotes 

• Quentin Coldwater : Okay, so she faces the door of the castle. "In the door, there were seven keyholes. The door swallowed the keys whole and slowly opened. Up ahead, she saw her father, bound by seven chains. 'Father', she cried, 'I'm here to save you'. She placed the keys into the locks, and when she turned the seventh..."

  Eliot Waugh : Sorry, time out. I thought the weird door swallowed the keys.

  Quentin Coldwater : Yeah, no, it did, but then-...

  Eliot Waugh : But then she has them again? I'm not that drunk. This is sloppy plotting.

• Quentin Coldwater : "The Tale of the Seven Keys," chapter eight. The Knight remained imprisoned at the Castle at the End of the World. Not even a warrior as great as he could break the bonds placed on him by the Witch. He could not escape. But his daughter, now every bit the knight her father was, and more so, never gave up. She fought monsters, real and imagined, without as well as within. She had won all seven keys, and now she set sail for the Castle at the End of the World.

  Margo Hanson : Okay, tick-tock. Does it say where the castle is?

  Eliot Waugh : [Engrossed in the story]  Shh, Bambi. Let him read.

• Ora : I'm only alive because I fulfill its need.

  Quentin Coldwater : To be entertained.

  Ora : Served, coddled. Loved.

  Quentin Coldwater : "Loved"? Like...

  Ora : A child.

  Quentin Coldwater : Okay, that's better than my first thought.

• Quentin Coldwater : What makes it so dangerous?

  Ora : The gods created something that simply... wants. So it has to know one secure place and constant love. If not, if its appetite goes unfed and it's unleashed, even the gods can't stop it.
