“	There are some things we might not know, but that doesn't mean we should give up. We can find out what we need to know. We can find out anything.	„
	~ Klaus Baudelaire in the books.

How could they do this to us?! Mom and Dad. Violet, you're thinking it, too. How could they?! They had no plan for us at all?! ...Do you think anything will ever feel like home again?	„
	~ Klaus in the film.
