Anthony Trollope
“She had known his faults and weaknesses, and was probably aware that he was inferior to herself in character and intellect. But, nevertheless, she had loved him. To her he had been, though not heroic, sufficiently a man to win her heart. He was a gentleman, pleasant-mannered, pleasant to look at, pleasant to talk to, not educated in the high sense of the word, but never making himself ridiculous by ignorance.”
Anthony Trollope, The Palliser Novels: Complete Series - All 6 Books in One Edition: Can You Forgive Her?, Phineas Finn, The Eustace Diamonds, Phineas Redux, The Prime Minister & The Duke's Children

“What could she do with a man who had no ideas of his own as to what he ought to do with himself?”

“A girl almost always likes a man who is in love with her,—unless indeed she positively dislikes him.”

“A woman who is alone in the world is ever regarded with suspicion.”

Venedikt Erofeev
“I tell you, if the whole world, and everybody in it, was as weak and frightened as I am now, and as unsure of everything – unsure of themselves, their place in the scheme of things – it’d be a far better place. No more enthusiasts, no heroic deeds, no commitment, just general all-round pusillanimity! I’d be content to live on this earth for all eternity, if somebody’d just show me a corner of it where there’s not always room for heroics. ‘General pusillanimity’ – yes, that’s our remedy for all ills...”
Erofeev Venedikt, Moskva-Petushki
