“This works to spoil films too: the highest-profile actor with the fewest lines is always the villain, and a sudden wide-shot of a character crossing a road means they are about to be hit by a car. A good author must not only wrong-foot the reader within the narrative, they must do it within the form of the novel itself. There are clues baked into the very object.”
― Benjamin Stevenson, Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone

“We are seven chapters away from the next death.”

“- Jums ir pačiai reikėtų šį tą apie tai išmanyti, mano vaike. O jūs negalvojate apie nieką kitą, išskyrus mėgintuvėlius ir mikroskopus. Jūsų pirštas išteptas su mėlynuoju metilenu. Jūsų vyras nebus labai laimingas, jei jūs visai nesirūpinsite jo skrandžiu.
- Turiu pasakyti, kad aš neturėsiu vyro.
- Jūs tikrai turėsite vyrą. Kam gi Dievas jus sukūrė?
- Daugeliui dalykų, aš tikiuosi, - atsakė Judita.”
― Agatha Christie

“I’ll hold it here to mention that I know some authors are incapable of having a woman throw up without it being a clue to a pregnancy. These same authors seem to think nausea is the only indication of childbearing, not to mention their belief that vomit shoots out the woman’s mouth within hours of plot-convenient fertilisation. By some authors, I mean male ones.”
