This quote is from Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret, "The complicated machinery inside mu automaton can produce one hundred and fifty-eight different picture, and it can write, letter by letter, an entire book, twenty-six thousand one hundred and fifty-nine words. These words" (511).
This is the moment in books you hope to find. It is the moment when the story comes together and the hairs raise on the back of your neck. This quote shows how much appreciation and love Hugo has for Georges Melies and those who helped him along the way. This automaton was made to honor and thank them and make sure that their story is recorded and will not be lost to time.
