“People who hate solitude have very low standards when it comes to the company they keep.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Robert K. Ressler
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And when you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.”
Robert K. Ressler, Whoever Fights Monsters: My Twenty Years Tracking Serial Killers for the FBI

Daphne du Maurier
“When I was halfway down the passage I had a curious, inexplicable feeling that I must go back and look in my room again. I went without reason, and stood a moment looking at the gaping wardrobe and the empty bed, and the tray of tea upon the table. I stared at them, impressing them forever on my mind, wondering why they had the power to touch me, to sadden me, as though they were children that did not want me to go away.”
Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca

Daphne du Maurier
“I believed, in her strange way, that she had loved us both, but we had become dispensable. Something other than blind emotion directed her actions after all. Perhaps she was two persons, torn in two, first one having sway and then the other.”
Daphne du Maurier, My Cousin Rachel

Paul Theroux
“Why do things get weaker and worse? Why don't they get better? Because we accept that they fall apart! But they don't have to --- they could last forever. Why do things get more expensive? Any fool can see that they should get cheaper as technology gets more efficient. It's despair to accept the senility of obsolescence...”
Paul Theroux, The Mosquito Coast
