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.

I know my fate. One day there will be associated with my name the recollection of something frightful -- of a crisis like no other before on earth, of the profoundest collision of conscience, of a decision evoked against everything that until then had been believed in, demanded, sanctified.
