“There were countless Ovids in the mirrors, off in the cold silence...Dragons from the stars asleep in the ground, men in blue and gray who slaughtered each other, people hurting and hurt and hurting some more, and a Craither that was never far away, which I did not comprehend, sucking energy from me whenever it got close.”
― Frederic S Durbin

“Laugh as much as you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion.”
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me, and still come with me, and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature.”
― Sheridan Le Fanu, Carmilla
