Evelyn Waugh
“Miss Runcible wore trousers and Miles touched up his eye-lashes in the dining-room of the hotel where they stopped for luncheon. So they were asked to leave.”
Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Billy covered his head with his blanket. He always covered his head when his mother came to see him in the mental ward - always got much sicker until she went away. It wasn’t that she was ugly, or had bad breath or a bad personality. She was a perfectly nice, standard-issue, brown-haired, white woman with a high school education.
She upset Billy simply by being his mother. She made him feel embarrassed and ungrateful and weak because she had gone through so much trouble to give him life, and to keep that life going, and Billy didn’t really like life at all.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

Salena Godden
“Spoiler Alert: We all die in the end”
Salena Godden, Mrs Death Misses Death
tags: death

Shelagh Delaney
“I dreamt about you last night. Fell out of bed twice”
Shelagh Delaney, A Taste of Honey

Ronald Firbank
“Boats with crimson spouts, to wit, steamers, dotted the skyline far away, and barques, with sails like the wings of butterflies, borne by an idle breeze, were bringing more than one ineligible young mariner back to the prose of shore.”
Ronald Firbank
