“Gossip says she hanged herself from the turret on the tower, but when you have a house like Hill House with a tower and a turret, gossip would hardly allow you to hang yourself anywhere else.”
― The Haunting of Hill House

“You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. People talk to you a great deal about your education, but some good, sacred memory, preserved from childhood, is perhaps the best education. If a man carries many such memories with him into life, he is safe to the end of his days, and if one has only one good memory left in one's heart, even that may sometime be the means of saving us.”
― The Brothers Karamazov

“Am I walking toward something I should be running away from?”

“Well there's a vacancy. We're one down."
"What?"
"Melanie, she's gone. The landline's down and it was the last straw."
"Christ, you're kidding? It's like Agatha effing Christie and the Ten Little Eskimos."
"Indians."
"What?"
"Ten Little Indians. In the book."
"It was Eskimos."
"It bloody wasn't. " I sat down on the bed. "It was the N word, actually, if you're going for the original, then Indians, then soldiers when they decided that offing ethnic minorities was maybe a bit strange. It was never Eskimos."
"Well, whatever." Nina dismissed the Eskimos with a wave of her hand. "Is there any coffee down there?”
