“I'm a man of a certain age - old enough to have been every kind of fool- and I find to my surprise that the only counsel I have to pass on is this: Never let your name be found in a dead man's trousers.”
Louis Bayard, The Black Tower

“Well, as to that, all I'll say is, you can't take out a fellow's heart before he's ready to give it up.”
Louis Bayard, The Pale Blue Eye

“For reasons I have yet to define, Signor Arpelli stood out from his colleagues. The curled brim of his hat, perhaps. A certain mingling of gravity and levity- I thought the masks of Janus had merged in his eyes.”
Louis Bayard, Mr. Timothy: A Novel
