“Fair enough, that's what most people look for to begin with, but money can be a sliding scale, the more you have, the more you want, the more you need,' McBlane said as he sharpened the ash on the tip of his cigar into a point against the rim of the ashtray. It gave him the appearance of wielding a dagger as he gestured with his cigar holding hand.”
R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

D.H. Lawrence
“Give up bearing children and bear hope and love and devotion to those already born.”
D.H. Lawrence

Alan Paton
“The tragedy is not that things are broken. The tragedy is that things are not mended again.”
Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country

Margaret Atwood
“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future. The ruin you've made.”
Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye

Kate Chopin
“Robert's going had some way taken the brightness, the color, the meaning out of everything. The conditions of her life were in no way changed, but her whole existence was dulled, like a faded garment which seems to be no longer worth wearing.”
Kate Chopin, The Awakening
