Sarah Caudwell
“You will be interested to hear, Hilary, that it [the drug] had a most remarkable effect — even on Selena after a very modest quantity. She cast off all conventional restraints and devoted herself without shame to the pleasure of the moment."

Sarah Caudwell, The Shortest Way to Hades

“Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Idiot

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“The whole work of man really seems to consist in nothing but proving to himself every minute that he is a man and not a piano key.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead
