Richard Osman
“Donna has always been headstrong, always acted quickly and decisively. Which is a fine quality when you are right, but a liability when you are wrong. It’s great to be the fastest runner, but not when you’re running in the wrong direction.”
Richard Osman, The Thursday Murder Club

José Saramago
“The church has never been asked to explain anything, our specialty, along with ballistics, has always been the neutralization of the overly curious mind through faith,”
José Saramago, Death With Interruptions

Pip Williams
“Words define us, they explain us, and, on occasion, they serve to control or isolate us.”
Pip Williams, The Dictionary of Lost Words

J. Sheridan Le Fanu
“Sometimes after an hour of apathy, my strange and beautiful companion would take my hand and hold it with a fond pressure, renewed again and again; blushing softly, gazing in my face with languid and burning eyes, and breathing so fast that her dress rose and fell with the tumultuous respiration. It was like the ardor of a lover; it embarrassed me; it was hateful and yet over-powering; and with gloating eyes she drew me to her, and her hot lips traveled along my cheek in kisses; and she would whisper, almost in sobs, "You are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one for ever." Then she had thrown herself back in her chair, with her small hands over her eyes, leaving me trembling.”
J. Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla

José Saramago
“As velhas fotografias enganam muito, dão-nos a ilusão de que estamos vivos nelas, e não é certo, a pessoa para quem estamos a olhar já não existe, e ela, se pudesse ver-nos, não se reconheceria em nós, Quem será este que está a olhar para mim com cara de pena, diria.”
José Saramago, All the Names
