― Dan Brown, The Da Vinci Code

“It's like Tolstoy said. Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“Nothing captures human interest more than human tragedy.”
― Dan Brown, Angels & Demons

“Open your minds, my friends. We all fear what we do not understand.”
― Dan Brown, The Lost Symbol
