Quote from Howl's Moving Castle

I picked up my Kindle last night to re-read The Thief and it opened at the end (from the last time I read it on the kindle) where Megan was explaining about some of her influences. She said that she used a direct quote from Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. I'm sure I read this before but this time it intrigued me enough to re-read HMC and I found the quote! I even know exactly where in The Thief it was used. Did any of you catch it as well?
