Joan Didion
“Always when I play back my father’s voice,” Maria says, “it is with a professional rasp, it goes as it lays, don’t do it the hard way. My father advised me that life itself was a crap game: it was one of two lessons I learned as a child. The other was that overturning a rock was apt to reveal a rattlesnake. As lessons go those two seem to hold up, but not to apply.”
Joan Didion, Play It As It Lays

Henry James
“One never said the things one wanted — one remembered them all an hour afterwards. On the other hand one usually said a lot of things one shouldn't, simply from a sense that one had to say something.”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

Claire Keegan
“Stack, like every man who has never known a woman, believed he knew a great deal about women.”
Claire Keegan, Walk the Blue Fields

Henry James
“...one should try to be one's own best friend and to give one's self, in this manner, distinguished company.”
Henry James, The Portrait of a Lady

Elizabeth von Arnim
“It is true she liked him most when he wasn't there, but then she usually liked everybody most when they weren't there.”
Elizabeth von Arnim, The Enchanted April
