He shrugged innocently. “Let’s just say … that I’ve been … in a sense … blackmailing key members of London society and editors of the scandal sheets into preserving your reputation.”

“You—you’re serious?” I found myself half gasping the words but also not finding it terribly hard to believe. Mr. Kent never hid his worse qualities.
He wore them like badges.”

“Why, Miss Wyndham,” Mr. Kent replied, looking as chaste and good as a debutante at her presentation to the Queen. “I think we can all agree it’s fair to punish these guilty people feigning innocence every day of their lives, all while helping a wrongfully accused innocent. I would certainly never ask you, but I suspect you agree.”

“You cannot simply blackmail people into liking me!”

“Try to think of it as though we are rewriting history––the first time this experience occurred you and I never kissed in this Dream Machine room.

We could spend a lifetime recreating this moment here, meanwhile, not a single second of our lives would slip by back in our reality. Time seems to move differently inside of our memories.”
Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

There were a few stories here and there about people angered by their present living conditions, who had demanded that the center of Constance be held responsible for it.

Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

Evelyn: It’s a form of escapism. I long to live in worlds I can only touch through the words of authors. And unfortunately, I don’t know how to describe it. It’s something you either know the feeling of, or you don’t.”

Captain Goode shifted uncomfortably. “Mr. Kent, this is a breach of our—”
But Laura was still talking. “You did!” Laura whined. “When you were making the list of your favorite things about Evelyn, you said you admired her ability to sneak out!”
"Kit, you know not to listen to me!” Mr. Kent scolded. “I taught you better than that.”
Tarun Shanker, These Ruthless Deeds

“As the late earl said, ‘The early bird catches birds of a like feather,’” she said.
I nodded, not even trying to understand how that would work. At the very least, the combination of proverbs made it somewhat original.”
