Janet’s Quotes

“I don't care about the little guy. I just hate the big guy. I hate big smug people who think they can get away with things.”

“Almost invariably people expected that if you were a good person you shouldn't meet a bad end, that only the deserving are killed and certainly only the deserving are murdered. However well hidden and subtle, there was a sense that a murdered person had somehow asked for it. That's why the shock when someone they knew to be kind and good was a victim. There was a feeling that surely there had been a mistake.”
― Louise Penny, Still Life

“She'd liked things better when everything had been controlled simply by on and off switches and when push-button telephone and telly remotes were as far as technology had gone. Make a few calls and put the burden of information searching on someone else. That was the ticket. Now, however, things were different. It was the investigator's mental shoe leather that got worn down, not the real thing.”
― Elizabeth George

“Raney flipped the book over and looked at the jacket cover, realized it was one of the books Bo had left at her house the first summer he'd been in Quentin--one of the few he hadn't read. "It's a novel, Grandpa. ENDER'S GAME by a man named Card. Orson Card," and she continued reading through the first page until he interrupted her again.
"I just got out of the hospital--I don't want to hear a story about people having operations."
"Well, what DO you want? LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE?
"At least I'd learn something useful.”
― Carol Cassella
