Susanna Clarke
“I realised that the search for the Knowledge has encouraged us to think of the House as if it were a sort of riddle to be unravelled, a text to be interpreted, and that if ever we discover the Knowledge, then it will be as if the Value has been wrested from the House and all that remains will be mere scenery.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

Donna Tartt
“Does such a thing as 'the fatal flaw,' that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think that mine is this: a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Margaret MacMillan
“We can learn from history, but we can also deceive ourselves when we selectively take evidence from the past to justify what we have already made up our minds to do.”
Margaret MacMillan

Robert   Harris
“What is leadership, after all, but the blind choice of one route over another and the confident pretense that the decision was based on reason”
Robert Harris, Pompeii

Susanna Clarke
“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi
