Wilkie Collins
“The clouds had gathered, within the last half-hour. The light was dull; the distance was dim. The lovely face of Nature met us, soft and still and colourless – met us without a smile.”
Wilkie Collins, The Moonstone

Jennifer Egan
“That we have some history together that hasn’t happened yet.”
Jennifer Egan, A Visit from the Goon Squad

Elizabeth Bowen
“It is a wary business, walking about a strange house you know you are to know well. Only cats and dogs with their more expressive bodies enact the tension we share with them at such times. The you inside gathers up defensively; something is stealing upon you every moment; you will never be the same again.”
Elizabeth Bowen, The House in Paris

John Cowper Powys
“In the summer when the wind stirs the trees, there is that rushing, swelling sound of masses of heavy foliage, a sound that drowns, in its full-blossomed, undulating, ocean-like murmur, the individual sorrows of trees. But across this leafless unfrequented field these two evergreens could lift to each other their sub-human voices and cry their ancient vegetation-cry, clear and strong; that cry which always seems to come from some underworld of Being, where tragedy is mitigated by a strange undying acceptance beyond the comprehension of the troubled hearts of men and women.”
John Cowper Powys, A Glastonbury Romance

Henry James
“I'm glad you like adverbs — I adore them; they are the only qualifications I really much respect.”
Henry James
