Laura Anne’s Quotes

“Yet she felt, as we so often do with somebody we love, that any little defect could only make him more dear to her.”
― Barbara Pym, Jane and Prudence

“As far as I'm concerned, you can't beat a good whodunnit: the twists and turns, the clues and the red herrings and then, finally, the satisfaction of having everything explained to you in a way that makes you kick yourself because you hadn't seen it from the start.”
― Anthony Horowitz, Magpie Murders

“The feel of her was both new and familiar, as though he had held her a long time ago, as though he had missed it without knowing it for years.”

“Ye Gods and Little Fishes," said Sir Henry, "can it be? George, it's my own particular, one and only four starred Pussy. The super Pussy of all old Pussies...”

“It was two lives I lived: the one right there, the sun extending its warmth toward us, the children calling with happiness, the cry of songbirds in the canopy of oak trees overhead, the splash of lake water. Then there was the second, parallel life: the one where my mind was preoccupied with how to describe this time and feeling to Jack. What would I take of this day to share with him? I was living a life with him in my mind while externally picnicking with my family. It was both disorienting and balancing.”
― Patti Callahan, Becoming Mrs. Lewis
