“There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love. I require so much!”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are.”
― Anne Rice, The Vampire Lestat

“Friends don't count the cost of favors.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, Danse Macabre
