Leo Tolstoy
“It was one of Kitty’s best days. Her dress was not uncomfortable anywhere; her lace berthe did not droop anywhere; her rosettes were not crushed nor torn off; her pink slippers with high, hollowed-out heels did not pinch, but gladdened her feet; and the thick rolls of fair chignon kept up on her head as if they were her own hair. All the three buttons buttoned up without tearing on the long glove that covered her hand without concealing its lines. The black velvet of her locket nestled with special softness round her neck. That velvet was delicious; at home, looking at her neck in the looking glass, Kitty had felt that that velvet was speaking. About all the rest there might be a doubt, but the velvet was delicious. Kitty smiled here too, at the ball, when she glanced at it in the glass.”
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

Alan Bennett
“The appeal of reading, she thought, lay in its indifference: there was something lofty about literature. Books did not care who was reading them or whether one read them or not. All readers were equal, herself included. Literature, she thought, is a commonwealth; letters a republic.”
Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader

Robert Dugoni
“Discrimination is difficult, because in its worst form, it is not overt. It is subtle.”
Robert Dugoni, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell

Alan Bennett
“What she was finding also was how one book led to another, doors kept opening wherever she turned and the days weren’t long enough for the reading she wanted to do.”
Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader

Robert Dugoni
“There comes a day in every man’s life when he stops looking forward and starts looking back.”
Robert Dugoni, The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell
