Nathaniel Hawthorne
“How often is it the case that, when impossibilities have come to pass and dreams have condensed their misty substance into tangible realities, we find ourselves calm, and evenly coldly self-possessed, amid circumstances which it would have been a delirium of joy or agony to anticipate!”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Rappaccini's Daughter

Walter de la Mare
“Thinking is like a fountain. Once it gets going at a certain pressure, well, it almost impossible to turn it off. And, my hat! what odd things come up with the water!

("Out Of The Deep")”
Walter de la Mare, Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural

John Updike
“Nothing feels worse than other people's good times.”
John Updike, Rabbit Redux

Patrick Rothfuss
“There is nothing quite so delightfully mysterious as a secret in your own backyard.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Stephen  King
“You may wonder about long-term solutions. I assure you, there are none. All wounds are mortal. Take what's given. You sometimes get a little slack in the rope but the rope always has an end. So what? Bless the slack and don't waste your breath cursing the drop. A grateful heart knows that in the end we all swing.”
Stephen King, Skeleton Crew
