“Love is a big word, and it represents a good many different shades of feeling”
― Cecily Gayford, Murder on a Winter's Night

“You think you know someone but then they turn out not to be the person you thought they were, if you get my drift.”
― Sue Wallman, Your Turn to Die

“It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things. The Baudelaire orphans were crying not only for their Uncle Monty, but for their own parents, and this dark and curious feeling of falling that accompanies any great loss.”
― Lemony Snicket

“The ear plugs allow me to observe my environment, while absolving me of the need to respond to it.”
― Vikas Swarup, Six Suspects
