Oscar Wilde
“Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!

Some kill their love when they are young,
And some when they are old;
Some strangle with the hands of Gold:
The kindest use a knife, because
The dead so soon grow cold.

Some love too little, some too long,
Some sell and others buy;
Some do the deed with many tears,
And some without a sigh:
For each man kills the thing he loves,
Yet each man does not die.”
Oscar Wilde, Selected Poems of Oscar Wilde including the Ballad of Reading Gaol

Shirley Jackson
“Why do people want to talk to each other? I mean, what are the things people always want to find out about other people?”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House

André Maurois
“Happiness is never there to stay [...] Happiness is merely a respite offered by inquietude.”
Andre Maurois, Climats

Gail Honeyman
“I feel sorry for beautiful people. Beauty, from the moment you possess it, is already slipping away, ephemeral. That must be difficult.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Shirley Jackson
“The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain,” said Lord Byron,”
Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House
