Hilary Mantel
“~ You know young Francis Weston? He that waits on the king? His people are giving out that you’re a Hebrew... Next time you’re at court, take your cock out and put it on the table and see what he says to that.
~ I do that anyway, if the conversation flags.”
Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

E.M. Forster
“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.
“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.”
William H. Gass, A Temple of Texts
