“So go, girl. We should have been one person all along, not two.”
Dorothy Baker, Cassandra at the Wedding

Daphne du Maurier
“If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Edith Sitwell
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.”
Edith Sitwell

Ford Madox Ford
“So I shall just imagine myself for a fortnight or so at one side of the fireplace of a country cottage, with a sympathetic soul opposite me. And I shall go on talking, in a low voice while the sea sounds in the distance and overhead the great black flood of wind polishes the bright stars.”
Ford Madox Ford, The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion

“You shouldn't ask me whether I like him or not. The way you mean it, I don't suppose I like anybody.”
Dorothy Baker, Cassandra at the Wedding
