Just follow that line forever," said the Mathemagician, "and when you reach the end, turn left. There you'll find the land of Infinity, where the tallest, the shortest, the biggest, the smallest, and the most and least of everything are kept."
"I don't have that much time," said Milo anxiously. "isn't there a quicker way?"
"Well, you might try this flight of stairs," he suggested, opening another door and pointing up."It goes there, too. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
Time is a gift, given to you, given to give you the time you need, the time you need to have the time of your life. ~ Norton Juster

I received a grant from The Ford Foundation to write a book for kids about urban perception, or how people experience cities, but I kept putting off writing it. Instead I started to write what became The Phantom Tollbooth. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
And that's why people no longer care which words they use as long as they use lots of them. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
Since you got here by not thinking, it seems reasonable to expect that, in order to get out, you must start thinking. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
Isn't this everyone's Point of View?" asked Tock, looking around curiously.
"Of course not," replied Alec, sitting himself down on nothing. "It's only mine, and you certainly can't always look at things from someone else's Point of View. For instance, from here that looks like a bucket of water," he said, pointing to a bucket of water; "but from an ant's point of view it's a vast ocean, from an elephant's just a cool drink, and to a fish, of course, it's home. So, you see, the way you see things depends a great deal on where you look at them from. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
It's bad enough wasting time without killing it. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
If something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what's in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
A slavish concern for the composition of words is the sign of a bankrupt intellect. Be gone, odious wasp! You smell of decayed syllables. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
There is much worth noticing that often escapes the eye. ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
Things which are equally bad are also equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things.
- Humbug ~ Norton Juster
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Norton Juster
The Phantom is not famous for forgiveness. ~ A.G. Howard
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by A.G. Howard
If you look at the great frauds of all time, Enron had that phantom trading floor. What Herbalife has is it has phantom or fictitious customers. ~ Bill Ackman
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Bill Ackman
She wanted an Angel of Music ... an angel who would make her believe in herself at last. I'd been the Angel of Doom for the khanum. There was no reason in the world why I could not be the Angel of Music for Christine. I couldn't hope to be a man to her, I couldn't ever be a real, breathing, living man waking at her side and reaching out for her ... But I could be her angel' -Erik ~ Susan Kay
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Susan Kay
People today are used to seeing not only the incredible but the impossible as well, all provided by the mega-pixel. We witness miracles and dismiss them as diversions. The line between reality and fantasy has been blurred to the point that we no longer know what it is we see, and so put little faith in the experience. And there is no darkness anymore, no place for things like mystery and magic to make their abode. There is nothing nowadays that is not exposed, caught on camera and pixilated to be stored and classified forever in some phantom zone called cyber space. Nothing is too small to remain unseen by our microscopes or too far away to be seen by our satellites. The world is a strumpet, every inch of her exposed and explored. Whether she is thrusting herself into the camera's gaze, or we as voyeurs intrude upon her most intimate moments, nothing is left to the imagination. The world today is all light and no darkness. But too much light can blind. An excess of it deprives our eyes from the necessary contrast required to give definition to what we see. The light precludes magic, gives us explanations in its place. It denies love and informs us of the chemicals in the brain that are active given certain conditions. We have gained knowledge but in the process we have been forced to surrender the very reasons we sought knowledge in the first place. ~ James Rozoff
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by James Rozoff
There should be a word for it. That phantom limb, reaching out from your chest, towards things you'll never have. ~ Joseph Knox
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Joseph  Knox
Rome fell silently to ruins. A New city rose in its place, and it was too erased by emptiness. Like phantom Giants, cities, kingdoms, and countries swiftly fell and disappeared into emptiness-- swallowed up in the black maw of the Infinite ~ Leonid Andreyev
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Leonid Andreyev
I read the Phantom comics when I was in Australia shooting 'Dead Calm' and when one of the crew told me that there were plans for a movie, I went for it. That was in 1987 and I told (producer) Graham Burke I was going to be the Phantom. We had a laugh about that recently because you usually get what you deserve, not what you desire, and that is especially true in Hollywood! ~ Billy Zane
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Billy Zane
The easiest part of the writing process is whichever part I'm not currently doing. ~ Scott Tracey
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Scott Tracey
'Phantom' follows some of the best submarine cold-war films made. There's just so much tension, I can't even describe it - you have to see it. ~ Johnathon Schaech
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Johnathon Schaech
Valkyrie, if there was ever a cradle to be robbed ... Gods, just look at him." ...
... "Face it, Nat, this is one tiger who will never be jumping through your flaming hoop
~ Kresley Cole
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Kresley Cole
This was life, I supposed, running and running and running, and realizing along the way that the phantom was getting closer. ~ Jane Hamilton
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Jane Hamilton
I would never speak about faith, but speak about the Lord himself - not theologically, as to the why and wherefore of his death - but as he showed himself in his life on earth, full of grace, love, beauty, tenderness and truth. Then the needy heart cannot help hoping and trusting in him, and having faith, without ever thinking about faith. How a human heart with human feelings and necessities is ever to put confidence in the theological phantom which is commonly called Christ in our pulpits, I do not know. It is commonly a miserable representation of him who spent thirty-three years on our Earth, living himself into the hearts and souls of men, and thus manifesting God to them. ~ George MacDonald
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by George MacDonald
I beg you, help me, in angelic charity,
Pray my efforts will reflect your mastery! ~ E.A. Bucchianeri
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by E.A. Bucchianeri
It is hard to describe to you but I swear it was a fearsome sight. There were not eyes to speak of, but chasms that saw into its dark depths. A shade of a mouth full with phantom teeth. There seemed to be a skull shifting in and out of form beneath the black. Bound together by an unspeakable evil. ~ Solange Nicole
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Solange Nicole
There is no river in the world to be compared for majesty and the witchery of association, to the Thames; it impresses even the unreading and unimaginative watcher with a solemnity which he cannot account for, as it rolls under his feet and swirls past the buttresses of its many bridges; he may think, as he experiences the unusual effect, that it is the multiplicity of buildings which line its banks, or the crowd of sea-craft which floats upon its surface, or its own extensive spread. In reality he feels, although he cannot explain it, the countless memories which hang for ever like a spiritual fog over its rushing current.
("The Phantom Model") ~ Hume Nisbet
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Hume Nisbet
There is no easy way out of our circumstances...Sometimes you stick it out even when you want to give up because you know that on the other side is either a better situation or a better you." -Watercrossing (Phantom Island Book 3) ~ Krissi Dallas
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Krissi Dallas
Of course the edges of the wound struggle to close up
and the clock wants to be set going
(how awkward to be pointing permanently to half past one)
amputated limbs feel phantom pain ~ Katarina Mazetti
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Katarina Mazetti
On Phantom ... I listened to the music while I was reading the script. And it had just blown me away. I really ... I was so excited about it. It's been a long time since I really got so excited about something. ~ Gerard Butler
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Gerard Butler
I guess the thing is that we remained huge friends after the original Phantom movie, when we decided it wouldn't take place and we just saw each other socially over the years so we were friends. ~ Andrew Lloyd Webber
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Swift is her walk, more swift her winged haste: A monstrous phantom, horrible and vast. As many plumes as raise her lofty flight, So many piercing eyes inlarge her sight; Millions of opening mouths to Fame belong, And ev'ry mouth is furnish'd with a tongue, And round with list'ning ears the flying plague is hung. She fills the peaceful universe with cries; No slumbers ever close her wakeful eyes; By day, from lofty tow'rs her head she shews, And spreads thro' trembling crowds disastrous news; With court informers haunts, and royal spies; Things done relates, not done she feigns, and mingles truth with lies. Talk is her business, and her chief delight To tell of prodigies and cause affright. ~ Virgil
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Virgil
To someone who has not had a parent stolen from them, I can only attempt to explain how it feels. It's like having part of yourself hacked off without warning. Afterwards, they become like a phantom limb: you're sure they're still present because you can feel them, you communicate with them, but you just can't see them. ~ Rusty Young
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Rusty Young
That which men call virtue is usually no more than a phantom formed by our passions, to which one gives an honest name in order to do with impunity whatever one wishes. ~ La Rochefoucauld
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by La Rochefoucauld
Is the mask magic?" he demanded with sudden, passionate interest.
"Yes." I bowed my head, so that our eyes no longer met. "I made it magic to keep you safe. The mask is your friend, Erik. As long as you wear it, no mirror can ever show you the face again."
He was silent then and when I showed him the new mask he accepted it without question and put it on hastily with his clumsy, bandaged fingers. But when I stood up to go, he reacted with panic and clutched at my grown.
"Don't go! Don't leave me here in the dark."
"You are not in the dark," I said patiently. "Look, I have left the candle ..."
But I knew, as I looked at him, that it would have made no difference if I had left him fifty candles. The darkness he feared was in his own mind and there was no light in the universe powerful enough to take that darkness from him.
With a sigh of resignation I sat back on the bed and began to sing softly; and before I had finished the first verse, he was asleep.
The bandages on his hands and wrists showed white and eerie in the candle-light, as I eased my skirts from his grasp.
I knew that Marie was right.
Physically and mentally, I had scarred him for life. ~ Susan Kay
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Susan  Kay
I snuggle closer to him in my sleep and my whimpering subsides to a contented sigh. It almost hurts to see Raffe closing his eyes and holding me the way a kid might hold a stuffed animal for comfort. I reach out my phantom hand to stroke his face. But of course, I can't feel him. I can only feel what the sword remembers. I run my hand along the lines of his neck and the muscles of his shoulder, anyway. Imagining the smooth warmth of him. Remembering the feeling of being held in his arms. ~ Susan Ee
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Susan Ee
It has been a long time since I've been in France. I miss the food like a phantom limb.'
...
'I shall bring you our best dishes,' he promised.
'And the wine to pair with them, she said.
He feigned exasperation. 'But of course, he said, 'would I blaspheme?' ...
She ate, her eyes half closed. All along, she'd known Lotto was with her, across the table, enjoying her food with her. He would've loved this night. Her dress, the food, the wind. The lust welled in her until it was almost unbearable. If she looked up, she knew she would see only an empty chair. She would not look up. ~ Lauren Groff
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Lauren Groff
Action always happens in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. But the mind is like a phantom that lives only in the past or future. It's only power over you is to draw your attention our of the present. ~ Dan Millman
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Dan Millman
Ah, brothers, this God which I created was human work and human madness, like all gods!
He was human, and only a poor piece of man and Ego: this phantom came to me from my own fire and ashes, that is the truth! It did not come from the 'beyond'! ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Then I made her understand that, where she was concerned, I was only a poor dog, ready to die for her. But that she could marry the young man she pleased because she had cried with me, and mingled her tears with mine. ~ Erik ~ Gaston Leroux
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Gaston Leroux
This film Phantom takes everything that's wrong with Broadway and puts it on the big screen in a gaudy splat. ~ Stephanie Zacharek
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Stephanie Zacharek
Stay away from the underground lake I implore,
The Siren will see you are heard of no more. ~ E.A. Bucchianeri
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by E.A. Bucchianeri
Whom then to love? Whom to have faith in?
Who can there be who won't betray?
Who'll judge a deed or disputation
Obligingly by what we say?
Who'll not bestrew our path with slander?
Who'll cosset us with care and candour?
Oh, ineffectual phantom seeker
You waste your energy in vain:
Love your own self, be your own man,
My worthy, venerable reader!
A worthwhile object: surely who
Could be more lovable than you? ~ Alexander Pushkin
Phantom Tollbooth quotes by Alexander Pushkin
The only shows I saw as a kid were that holy trinity: 'Les Miz,' 'Cats,' 'Phantom.' ~ Lin-Manuel Miranda
