“Guffy stared at him in frank astonishment. ‘D’you mean to say the fellow was lying?’ he demanded.
‘But, good heavens,’ Eager-Wright expostulated, ‘the man was positively sweating with sincerity.’ The Hereditary Paladin cocked a thoughtful eye at his followers. ‘He was, wasn't he? I noticed that,’ he said. ‘But not with sincerity. Hang it all, people don’t perspire with truth.’ ‘Of course,’ said Guffy slowly. ‘A man sweats with fear.’ ‘That’s what I thought,’ said Mr. Campion. ‘Odd, isn’t it?” ...more Margery Allingham |

"Mereda’s characters practically leap off the page and become so real, so quickly, it is hard to put her books down. Brave Old World was no exception and I loved every page. Anna, the main character, in her desire to make a positive impact on the worl"

"What will I do without these characters??? You did something special with this series, Mereda, and I'm not really sure what you did. But the characters in this series feel like my friends in a way that no other characters in any other books have done"

| Wow... While I was reading this book, I realized that not only was this the last novel that Agatha Christie wrote, it's also the last of her full length novels left for me to read. I've now read 79 Christie novels and short story collections (many of ...more | |

“He shook his head. “We’re always in danger, Miss Blillick. We’ve chosen it—to live our lives in constant decision that the things we stand for are worth it. Who we are is dangerous.”

“There was something about Gabrel’s smile… something different, something fascinating. It was not mere sunshine like Tana’s sweet smile, nor was it mead like Drex’s—honeyed but also biting. There was something about it that always made Kalla think of a sun-shower—pure and full of hope but also sad, just like the suns shining through the rain. And Kalla had always loved the rain.”

“But in reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself. Like the night sky in the Greek poem, I see with a myriad eyes, but it is still I who see. Here, as in worship, in love, in moral action, and in knowing, I transcend myself; and am never more myself than when I do.”

“Human nature is always interesting, Sir Henry. And it's curious to see how certain types always tend to act in exactly the same way.”

“Supposing one were a thing after all--a thing designed and invented by Someone Else and valued for qualities quite different from what one had decided to regard as one's true self?”

“We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses and nymphs and elves—that, though we cannot, yet these projections can, enjoy in themselves that beauty, grace, and power of which Nature is the image. That is why the poets tell us such lovely falsehoods. They talk as if the west wind could really sweep into a human soul; but it can't. They tell us that "beauty born of murmuring sound" will pass into a human face; but it won't. Or not yet.”
