“If you're going through hell, keep going.”
― Winston Churchill

“Damn it, she writes detective stories and in detective stories virtue is always triumphant. They're the purest literature we have.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison

“Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.”
― Rosamunde Pilcher, September

“Being in your twenties has changed a lot since I was in my twenties, but it is still a time everything awful that happens is awful in a romantic way, even if you don't admit it (and you can't admit it because then you would be less important in the tragedy you're starring in, your own life)...because in your twenties you know, even if you don't admit this either, even if this is buried deep in your subconscious, that you can waste an entire decade and still have a life.”
― Delia Ephron, Sister Mother Husband Dog: Etc.
