“No point in wasting time with false vanity when you possess the real thing.”
― Alan Bradley, Speaking from Among the Bones

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“Some day, even you will see that there's sense in this. Your suffering is never for nothing.”
― Elisabeth Elliot, Suffering is Never for Nothing

“One of the marks of a truly great mind, I had discovered, is the ability to feign stupidity on demand.”
― Alan Bradley, The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches
