Quote by Neil Gaiman
You know I love you,' said the other mother flatly.'You have a very funny way of showing it,' said Coraline.
Summary
In this quote from Neil Gaiman's "Coraline," the other mother (a sinister, otherworldly version of Coraline's real mother) claims to love Coraline, but Coraline calls her out on her actions contradicting her words. Despite the other mother's claim, Coraline realizes that her love is not genuine because her behavior is strange, creepy, and does not align with what love should actually look like. Coraline's response highlights her discernment and refusal to be swayed by empty declarations of love.
