Alan Bradley
“It is not unknown for fathers with a brace of daughters to reel off their names in order of birth when summoning the youngest, and I had long ago become accustomed to being called 'Ophelia Daphne Flavia, damn it.”
Alan Bradley, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

Alan Bradley
“Seen from the air, the male mind must look rather like the canals of Europe, with ideas being towed along well-worn towpaths by heavy-footed dray horses. There is never any doubt that they will, despite wind and weather, reach their destinations by following a simple series of connected lines.
But the female mind, even in my limited experience, seems more of a vast and teeming swamp, but a swamp that knows in an instant whenever a stranger--even miles away--has so much as dipped a single toe into her waters. People who talk about this phenomenon, most of whom know nothing whatsoever about it, call it "woman's intuition.”
Alan Bradley, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag

Alan Bradley
“If you remember nothing else, remember this: Inspiration from outside one's self is like the heat in an oven. It makes passable Bath buns. But inspiration from within is like a volcano: It changes the face of the world.”
Alan Bradley, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag

“There's a lot to be said for being alone. But you and I know, don't we, Flavia, that being alone and being lonely are not at all the same thing?”
Alan Bradley, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag

“Tell them we may not be praying with them," Father told the Vicar, "but we are at least not actively praying against them.”
Alan Bradley, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
