Ken Kesey
“The same old rain, and, if not welcomed, at least accepted—an old gray aunt who came to visit every winter and stayed till spring. You learn to live with her.

Harper Lee
“And so they went, down the row of laughing women, around the diningroom, refilling coffee cups, dishing out goodies as though their only regret was the temporary domestic disaster of losing Calpurnia.”

Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
