Tommy Orange
“We get used to everything to the point that we even get used to getting used to everything.”
Tommy Orange, There There

Jerome K. Jerome
“What the eye does not see, the stomach does not get upset over”
Jerome K. Jerome

J.K. Rowling
“At the very least, we should know they’re coming, I can’t guarantee it will keep out Vol--”
“Don’t say the name!” Ron cut across her, his voice harsh.
Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
“I’m sorry,” Ron said, moaning a little as he raised himself to look at them, “but it feels like a--a jinx or something. Can’t we call him You-Know-Who--please?”
“Dumbledore said fear of a name--” began Harry.
“In case you hadn’t noticed, mate, calling You-Know-Who by his name didn’t do Dumbledore much good in the end,” Ron snapped back. “Just--just show You-Know-Who some respect, will you?”
Respect?” Harry repeated, but Hermione shot him a warning look; apparently he was not to argue with Ron while the latter was in such a weakened condition.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Jerome K. Jerome
“It seems to be the rule of this world.  Each person has what he doesn’t want, and other people have what he does want.”
Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

Arundhati Roy
“At Pappachi's funeral, Mammachi cried and her contact lenses slid around in her eyes. Ammu told the twins that Mammachi was crying more because she was used to him than because she loved him. She was used to having him slouching around the pickle factory, and was used to being beaten from time to time. Ammu said that human beings were creatures of habit, and it was amazing the kinds of things they could get used to. You only had to look around you, Ammu said, to see that beatings with brass vases were the least of them.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
