Favorite Lemony Snicket Quotes

Although I haven't read all of the Lemony Snicket books, I have read a good many. I love the absurd sarcasm and writing style and watching the Baudelier children be resourceful and brave. I've acquired a good many highlighted passages but here are a few of my favorites...
