“No, no—there are depths, depths! The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don’t know what I don’t see—what I don’t fear!”
― Henry James, The Turn of the Screw

“The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain.”

“Grand. There's a word I really hate. It's a phony. I could puke every time I hear it.”

“Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation– the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack-Up
