John Steinbeck
“All of them had a restlessness in common.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Meindert De Jong
“The restlessness and the longing, like the longing that is in the whistle of a faraway train. Except that the longing isn't really in the whistle—it is in you.”
Meindert DeJong, The Little Cow and the Turtle

Gustave Flaubert
“But she—her life was cold as a garret whose dormer window looks on the north, and ennui, the silent spider, was weaving its web in the darkness in every corner of her heart.”
Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

Franz Werfel
“For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.”
Franz Werfel, The Song of Bernadette

Agatha Christie
“You forget," I said. "My calling obliges me to respect one quality above all others — the quality of mercy."

"Well, I'm a just man. No one can deny that." I
did not speak, and he said sharply:

"Why don't you answer? A penny for your
thoughts, man." I hesitated, then I decided to
speak.

"I was thinking," I said, "that when my time
comes, I should be sorry if the only plea I had
to offer was that of justice. Because it might mean that only justice would be meted out to me.”
Agatha Christie, Murder at the Vicarage
