“The things you think are the disasters in your life are not the disasters really. Almost anything can be turned around: out of every ditch, a path, if you can only see it.”
― Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

“Those who are made can be unmade.”
― Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

“Enough or not...it will have to do”
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina

“Anne's lovers are phantom gentlemen, flitting by night with adulterous intent. They come and go by night, unchallenged. They skim over the river like midges, flicker against the dark, their doublets sewn with diamonds. The moon sees them, peering from her hood of bone, and Thames water reflects them, glimmering like fish, like pearls.”
― Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies
