F. Scott Fitzgerald
“You're a rotten driver,' I protested. 'Either you ought to be more careful or you oughtn't to drive at all.'

'I am careful.'

'No, you're not.'

'Well, other people are,' she said lightly.

'What's that got to do with it?'

'They'll keep out of my way,' she insisted. 'It takes two to make an accident.'

'Suppose you met somebody just as careless as yourself.'

'I hope I never will,' she answered. 'I hate careless people. That's why I like you.'

Her grey, sun-strained eyes stared straight ahead, but she had deliberately shifted our relations, and for a moment I thought I loved her.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

Arthur Conan Doyle
“Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.” - Sherlock Homes”
Arthur Conan Doyle

Joseph Heller
“Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Frances Hodgson Burnett
“There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in—that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

Oscar Wilde
“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.”
Oscar Wilde
