“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

“I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman.”

“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice
