Thomas Hardy
“I think astronomy is a bad study for you. It makes you feel human insignificance too plainly.”
Thomas Hardy, Two on a Tower

Thomas Hardy
“At night, when human discords and harmonies are hushed, . . . there is nothing to moderate the blow with which the infinitely great, the stellar universe, strikes down upon the infinitely little, the mind of the beholder . . . Having got closer to immensity than their fellow-creatures, they saw at once its beauty and its frightfulness. They more and more felt the contrast between their own tiny magnitudes and those among which they had recklessly plunged, till they were oppressed with the presence of a vastness they could not cope with even as an idea, and which hung about them like a nightmare.”
Thomas Hardy, Two on a Tower

Kazuo Ishiguro
“Why, Mr Stevens, why, why, why do you always have to pretend?”
Kazuo Ishiguro, The Remains of the Day

Gillian Flynn
“They always call depression the blues, but I would have been happy to waken to a periwinkle outlook. Depression to me is urine yellow, washed out, exhausted miles of weak piss.”
Gillian Flynn, Sharp Objects

Raymond Chandler
“I didn't mind what she called me, what anybody called me. But this was the room I had to live in. It was all I had in the way of a home. In it was everything that was mine, that had any association for me, any past, anything that took the place of a family. Not much: a few books, pictures, radio, chessmen, old letters, stuff like that. Nothing. Such as they were, they had all my memories.”
Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
