E. Phillips Oppenheim
“Pooh!" she exclaimed. "Fancy asking a woman to be reasonable!”
E. Phillips Oppenheim, The Double Traitor

Mary Cholmondeley
“Every year I live I am more convinced that the waste of life lies in the love we have not given, the powers we have not used, the selfish prudence which will risk nothing, and which, shirking pain, misses happiness as well.”
Mary Cholmondeley, Red Pottage

Martha Grimes
“As he followed Wood, Jury thought: one disappearance, two auto accident victims, one in a mental institution, one drowned. One murdered. Rackmoor, for all its bracing sea air, didn’t seem the healthiest place in the British Isles.”
Martha Grimes, The Old Fox Deceiv'd

Honoré de Balzac
“Yes,' Montriveau went on in an unsteady voice, 'this Catholic faith to which you wish to convert me is a lie that men make for themselves; hope is a lie at the expense of the future; pride, a lie between us and our fellows; and pity, and prudence, and terror are cunning lies. And now my happiness is to be one more lying delusion; I am expected to delude myself, to be willing to give gold coin for silver to the end. If you can so easily dispense with my visits; if you confess me neither as your friend nor your love, you do not care for me! And I, poor fool that I am, tell myself this, and know it, and love you!”
Honoré de Balzac, The Duchesse De Langeais

Richard Dawkins
“There is an anaesthetic of familiarity, a sedative of ordinariness, which dulls the senses and hides the wonder of existence.”
Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder
