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.
This is NOT home. HOME is where your parents put you to bed at night, where they teach you to ride a bike, or where they get choked up on your first day of school. This is NOT home. 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.
We're innocent... enough.
~ Klaus in the tv series.
