Book cover for Saint's Blood (The Greatcoats #3)
‘The nobility don’t have to work for a living,’ I said. ‘They need a way to pass the time, and being offended is their favourite hobby.

Albert Camus
“But what did that prove? Only that still more stringent measures should be applied.
"How? You can't make more stringent ones than those we have now."
"No. But every person in town must apply them to himself."
Cottard stared at him in a puzzled manner, and Tarrou went on to say that there were far too many slackers, that this plague was everybody's business, and everyone should do his duty.”
Albert Camus, The Plague

“If everything didn't happen the way it happened this year, then think about it, everything would just be the same. And there's something very wrong with that thought. It wasn't supposed to remain the same, going on and on in an endless hum drum motion, repeating all the old rhythms, living in all the old lies, playing back all the same voices in the mind. It needed to end. Something needed to be over. Something new needs to take its place.”
C. JoyBell C.

Neil Gaiman
“I sang it to myself, the whole song, all the way through, two or three times, and I was relieved that I remembered the words, even if I did not always understand them.”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane

“New Achievement! This little piggy made a boom boom! You deployed a bomb with the supple, curved sole of your foot. You took your perfectly-perfect, 30.004861 centimeter-long right foot and compressed it against an explosive device—a device named after me no less—and you gave it a naughty little shove before you pushed it out the door and detonated it. You killed them. You killed them all for your daddy.”
Matt Dinniman, The Butcher's Masquerade

Neil Gaiman
“How can you be happy in this world? You have a hole in your heart. You have a gateway inside you to lands beyond the world you know. They will call you, as you grow. There can never be a time when you forget them, when you are not, in your heart, questing after something you cannot have, something you cannot even properly imagine, the lack of which will spoil your sleep and your day and your life, until you close your eyes for the final time,”
Neil Gaiman, The Ocean at the End of the Lane
