“Every married person he knew seemed desperate to chivvy others into matrimony, no matter how poor an advertisement they themselves were for the institution.”
Robert Galbraith, Troubled Blood

Adam Kay
“Her extremely posh eight year-old asks her a question about the economy (!), and before she answers it, she asks her extremely posh five year-old "Do you know what the economy is, darling?"

"Yes mummy, it's the part of the plane that's terrible".

This is how revolutions start.”
Adam Kay, This is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor

Gavin de Becker
“An absurdly literal example helps demonstrate this: As you stand near the edge of a high cliff, you might fear getting too close. If you stand right at the edge, you no longer fear getting too close, you now fear falling. Edward Gorey gives us his dark-humored but accurate take on the fact that if you do fall, you no longer fear falling—you fear landing:”
Gavin de Becker, The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence

Sarah Painter
“She wasn’t a tactful person. Didn’t suffer fools gladly.’ ‘I’ve never understood that phrase,’ Gwen broke in. She waved her glass. ‘Who does suffer fools gladly? Some kind of fool-fancier?”
Sarah Painter, The Language of Spells

Anthony Doerr
“Here is this! Here is this! Ecco Roma! Bursting out of the sun, streaking through space, skirting Venus, just over eight minutes old, but eternal, too, infinite—here comes the light, nameless and intangible, streaming 93 million unobstructed miles through the implacable black vacuum to break itself against a wall, a cornice, a column. It drenches, it crenellates, it textures.”
Anthony Doerr, Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World
