Not a day would pass without somebody I knew turning out to be adopted or illegitimate, or to have mothers who were about to hare off with some bloke, or to have dead fathers and shabby stepfathers. What busy lives they led. How I envied their excuses for introspection, their ear-marked receptacles for every just antagonism and noble loyalty.”
― Martin Amis, The Rachel Papers

― Tanya Thompson, Red Russia

“No one I've loved has ever not had an agenda.”
