Oscar Wilde
“Oh, don't cough, Ernest. When one is dictating one should speak fluently and not cough. Besides, I don't know how to spell a cough.”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
tags: humor

Lewis Carroll
“We're all mad here.”
Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

George Eliot
“Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them: they can be injured by us, they can be wounded; they
know all our penitence, all our aching sense that their place is empty, all the kisses we bestow on the smallest relic of their presence.”
George Eliot, Adam Bede

Anthony Marra
“At the kitchen table she examined the glass of ice. Each cube was rounded by room temperature, dissolving in its own remains, and belatedly she understood that this was how a loved one disappeared. Despite the shock wave of walking into an empty flat, the absence isn’t immediate, more a fade from the present tense you shared, a melting into the mast, not an erasure but a conversion in form, from presence to memory, from solid to liquid, and the person you once touched runs over your skin, now in sheets down your back, and you may bathe, may sink, may drown in the memory, but your fingers cannot hold it.”
Anthony Marra, A Constellation of Vital Phenomena

Oscar Wilde
“I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much”
Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
