“Where’s my uncle?” she asked.
“I don’t know who your uncle is, but if it as the guy who owned this place before I bought it, then he’s pushing up daisies.”

“It’s true: if we live behind a mask we can impress but we can’t connect.”

“It is a curious subject of observation and inquiry, whether hatred and love be not the same thing at bottom.

― Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter
