Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Perhaps," she said, "to be able to learn things quickly isn't everything. To be kind is worth a great deal to other people.”
Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

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

Diana Wynne Jones
“A heart's a heavy burden.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle

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

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