“Има ли миналото срок на годност?”

“Записал съм, че явно, ако искаш да оцелееш там, на новото място, трябва да отрежеш миналото и да го хвърлиш на кучетата. (Аз не можех така.) Да си безмилостен към миналото. Защото и миналото е безмилостно.”

“За българина оплакването е като хващането за времето на Албиона, винаги на място.”

“Обикалял сьм гробищата на света, като всеки уплашен до смърт от смъртта и умирането (от кое повече се страхуваме всъщност - от смъртта или от умирането)…”

“Live long enough and the past becomes an endless parade of mistakes and things that might have been done better or differently. What can we do but continue on, and try again?”

“And I hope you are happy."
"Is anyone actually happy?" Hazel asked.
"People like you and me? Very intelligent people? Almost never. But who knows? Perhaps we will be the exceptions."

“Love is hard to unknot.”

“But turns out true stupidity is believing you're secretly brilliant."

"Poetry is born out of lust! Emotion! Sentiment!”

“I much prefer nights in, and getting a good night's sleep. Drinking tea and reading a book and to bed by nine."

“But usually after supper, when a cup of tea went cold and she found that she needed to bring the extra blankets up from the cupboard to keep the chill from reaching like a hand around her bones, Hazel admitted that the house could be lonely. But loneliness, like frost, usually melted in the morning sun.”

“It’s the lesson young girls everywhere were taught their entire lives - don't be seduced by the men you meet, protect your virtue - until, of course, their entire lives depended on seduction by the right man. It was an impossible situation, a trick of society as a whole: force women to live at the mercy of whichever man wants them but shame them for anything they might do to get a man to want them.”

“Do not play games with your future. It permits the possibility of losing."

“A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other.”

“Mothers are adept at providing love from all angles, so much so that you often don't realise you're missing out on love from other people until much later in life.”

“If you're going to execute a plan to, well, execute a bunch of people, you cannot let your emotions run wild.” - she is so funny

“If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.”

“No one, no one really knows loss until it's someone you love. The deep-down kind of love that holds on to your bones and digs itself right in under your fingernails, as hard to budge as the years of compacted earth. And when it's gone... it's as if it's been ripped from you. Raw and exposed, you stand dripping blood all over the good feckin' carpet. Half-human, half-dead, one foot already in the grave.”

“And that's the thing with lies, they're much easier to believe when it's an idea you like.”

“The problem with raising strong women is that they make formidable opponents.”

“I see that he's regressed too, to when I was a kid and I couldn't cross a room without stubbing my toe. Living on a boat teaches you to be steady on your feet. But that's what coming home means, doesn't it? You're always going to be who you were then.”

"Love," Cardan goes on. "That force that compels us to be sometimes better and often worse. That power by which we can all be bound.
That which we ought to fear and yet most desire.”

“Love can be lost, and I am done losing.”

"Sometimes life gives us the terrible gift of our own wishes come true."

‘"Do you know what I admire about you?"
Truly, I cannot imagine what he will say next.
"That you never stopped being angry," he tells me. "It can be brave to hate. Sometimes it's like hope."’

“Isn’t that the very definition of luck - to have arrived in time?”

“I feel a strong persuasion, this morning, that I shall soon be abroad. I ought to travel. I am tired of doing nothing, I want a change.”

‘"But, my dear sir," cried Mr. Weston, "if Emma comes away early, it will be breaking up the party."
"And no great harm if it does," said Mr. Woodhouse. "The sooner every party breaks up, the better."’
