Vladimir Nabokov
“What he had really wanted to do was to tear a hole in his world and escape.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Signs and Symbols

Evelyn Waugh
“I have a good mind not to take Aloysius to Venice. I don't want him to meet a lot of horrid Italian bears and pick up bad habits.”
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Joni Mitchell
“We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.”
Joni Mitchell

Kazuo Ishiguro
“But that doesn't mean to say, of course, there aren't occasions now and then - extremely desolate occasions - when you think to yourself: 'What a terrible mistake I've made with my life.' And you get to thinking about a different life, a better life you might have had. For instance, I get to thinking about a life I may have had with you, Mr. Stevens. And I suppose that's when I get angry about some trivial little thing and leave. But each time I do, I realize before long - my rightful place is with my husband. After all, there's no turning back the clock now. One can't be forever dwelling on what might have been. One should realize one has as good as most, perhaps better, and be grateful.”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Tom Stoppard
“Chater: You dare to call me that. I demand satisfaction!

Septimus: Mrs Chater demanded satisfaction and now you are demanding satisfaction. I cannot spend my time day and night satisfying the demands of the Chater family.”
Tom Stoppard, Arcadia
