Daphne du Maurier
“Watch that boy. He's going to startle somebody someday.”
Daphne du Maurier, The Parasites

Mary Norton
“Misfortunes make us wise”
Mary Norton, The Borrowers Afield

Mary  Stewart
“I suppose my mother could have been a witch if she had chosen to. But she met my father, who was a rather saintly clergyman, and he cancelled her out.”
Mary Stewart, Thornyhold

Gillian Flynn
“He has that look, like I am being unreasonable, like he is so sure I am being unreasonable that I wonder if I am.”
Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl

W. Somerset Maugham
“You know, there are two good things in life, freedom of thought and freedom of action. In France you get freedom of action: you can do what you like and nobody bothers, but you must think like everybody else. In Germany you must do what everybody else does, but you may think as you choose. They're both very good things. I personally prefer freedom of thought. But in England you get neither: you're ground down by convention. You can't think as you like and you can't act as you like. That's because it's a democratic nation. I expect America's worse.”
William Somerset Maugham
