“It is almost impossible to describe happiness, because at the time it feels entirely natural, as if all the rest of your life has been the aberration; only in retrospect does it swim into focus as the rare and precious thing it is. When it is present, it seems to be eternal, abiding forever, and there is no need to examine it or clutch it. Later, when it has evaporated, you stare in dismay at your empty palm, where only a little of the perfume lingers to prove that once it was there, and now is flown.”
― Margaret George, The Memoirs of Cleopatra

“Go to the devil Harry." I turned away, then looked back over my shoulder. "But you already have, haven't you?”
― Susan Higginbotham, The Stolen Crown: The Secret Marriage that Forever Changed the Fate of England
