“The place is changed now, and many familiar faces are gone, but the greatest change is myself. I was a child then, I had no idea what the world would be like. I wished to trust myself on the waters and the sea. Everything was romantic in my imagination. The woods were peopled by the mysterious good folk. The Lords and Ladies of the last century walked with me along the overgrown paths, and picked the old fashioned flowers among the box and rose hedges of the garden.”
― Beatrix Potter, The Journal of Beatrix Potter from 1881-1897

"How do you spell surreptitious?" and, on a regular basis, "Do you have a book I remember reading once? It had a red cover and it turned out they were twins.”
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal

“Most people, after one success, are so cringingly afraid of doing less well that they rub all the edge off their subsequent work.”

“She wasn't a person to whom things happen. She did all the happenings.”
― Muriel Spark, Aiding and Abetting
