Book cover for A Place for Us
“Because the role of the daughter is to go off, to make her own home, to take her husband’s name—daughters are never really ours,”

C.S. Lewis
“But she never finds any servant or any friend who can do these simple things ‘properly’—because her ‘properly’ conceals an insatiable demand for the exact, and almost impossible, palatal pleasures which she imagines she remembers from the past; a past described by her as ‘the days when you could get good servants’ but known to us as the days when her senses were more easily pleased and she had pleasures of other kinds which made her less dependent on those of the table.”
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

C.S. Lewis
“He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them.”
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

Umberto Eco
“Daytime sleep is like the sin of the flesh; the more you have the more you want, and yet you feel unhappy, sated and unsated at the same time.”
Umberto Eco, The Name of the Rose

Mary Doria Russell
“You know what? I really resent the idea that the only reason someone might be good or moral is because they’re religious. I do what I do,’ Anne said, biting off each word, ‘without hope of reward or fear of punishment. I do not require heaven or hell to bribe or scare me into acting decently, thank you very much.”
Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow

Agatha Christie
“Mr Satterthwaite clucked twice in vexation. Whether right in his assumption or not, he was more and more convinced that cars nowadays broke down far more frequently than they used to do.”
Agatha Christie, The Complete Quin and Satterthwaite: A Classic Golden Age Mystery Omnibus of Crime and Suspense
