K.  Ritz
“Mead.
O sweet elixir,
Ye bless the lips and steal the wits.
 ”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Olive Ann Burns
“…but I don’t think I’m the only person who is tired of books and movies full of paper-doll characters you don’t care about, who have no self-respect and no respect for anybody or any institution…..And I don’t want to sound preachy or Victorian, but I’m tired of amorality in fiction and in real life. Immorality is a fascinating human dilemma that creates suspense for the readers and tension for the characters, but where is the tension in an amoral situation? When people have no personal code, nothing is threatening and nothing is meaningful.”
Olive Anne Burns

Susanna Clarke
“Like many spells with unusual names, the Unrobed Ladies was a great deal less exciting than it sounded.”
Susanna Clarke, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

Shafter Bailey
“Ed Sanders chuckled. “The ivy-covered walls at Columbia University have limited the depth of your insight, Professor Gilmore. The rehearsal flight is a ploy cooked up in the White House to take advantage of Cindy Divine’s immense popularity.”
Shafter Bailey, Cindy Divine: The Little Girl Who Frightened Kings

Evelyn Waugh
“Don't you think," said Father Rothschild gently, "that perhaps it is all in some way historical? I don't think people ever want to lose their faith either in religion or anything else. I know very few young people, but it seems to me that they are all possessed with an almost fatal hunger for permanence. I think all these divorces show that. People aren't content just to muddle along nowadays ... And this word "bogus" they all use ... They won't make the best of a bad job nowadays. My private schoolmaster used to say, "If a thing's worth doing at all, it's worth doing well." My Church has taught that in different words for several centuries. But these young people have got hold of another end of the stick, and for all we know it may be the right one. They say, "If a thing's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing at all." It makes everything very difficult for them.”
Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies
