“Beauvoir knew that the root of all evil wasn’t money. No, what created and drove evil was fear. Fear of not having enough money, enough food, enough land, enough power, enough security, enough love. Fear of not getting what you want, or losing what you have.”

“Funny how imperfections on the outside mean something splendid beneath.”
― Louise Penny, The Brutal Telling

“Gabri and Myrna were very rich indeed, rich in the things that matter. In friendships and laughter, in kindness and company. People rich in money might belong at the Inn and Spa, but those rich in other ways belonged in the tiny village of Three Pines. Here, kindness was the real currency.”
― Louise Penny, The Hangman

“It's a shame that creativity and sloth look exactly the same.”
― Louise Penny, A Rule Against Murder
