Thomas Hardy
“I won't be a slave to the past. I'll love where I choose.”
Thomas Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge

Paul Auster
“I'm saying you'll never know if you made the wrong choice or not. You would need to have all the facts before you knew, and the only way to get all the facts is to be in two places at the same time--which is impossible.”
Paul Auster, 4 3 2 1

Thomas Hardy
“She had been too early habituated to anxious reasoning to drop the habit suddenly.”
Thomas Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge

Thomas Hardy
“Yet her experience had consisted less in a series of pure disappointments than in a series of substitutions. Continually it had happened that what she had desired had not been granted her, and that what had been granted her she had not desired. So she viewed with an approach to equanimity the now cancelled days when Donald had been her undeclared lover, and wondered what unwished-for thing Heaven might send her in place of him.”
Thomas Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge

Thomas Hardy
“Like all people who have known rough times, light-heartedness seemed to her too irrational and inconsequent to be indulged in except as a reckless dram now and then; for she had been too early habituated to anxious reasoning to drop the habit suddenly...Her triumph was tempered by circumspection, she had still that field-mouse fear of the coulter of destiny despite fair promise, which is common among the thoughtful who have suffered early from poverty and oppression.”
Thomas Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge
