M.L. Stedman
“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day. You have to keep remembering all the bad things. I would have to make a list, a very, very long list and make sure I hated the people on it the right amount. That I did a very proper job of hating too.”
M.L. Stedman

Wilkie Collins
“We often hear, almost invariably, however, from superficial observers, that guilt can look like innocence. I believe it to be infinitely the truer axiom of the two that innocence can look like guilt.”
Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone

Adam Smith
“A man must always live by his work, and his wages must at least be sufficient to maintain him. They must even upon most occasions be somewhat more; otherwise it would be impossible for him to bring up a family, and the race of such workmen could not last beyond the first generation.”
Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

David Foster Wallace
“I'll say God seems to have a kind of laid-back management style I'm not crazy about. I'm pretty much anti-death. God looks by all accounts to be pro-death. I'm not seeing how we can get together on this issue, he and I...”
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest

Marjane Satrapi
“Saying goodbye is a little like dying.”
Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
