“That's the kind of luxury that men have. They can be awful and beloved. Women don't get that kind of leeway.”
Lian Dolan, The Sweeney Sisters

“You starvelling, you eel-skin, you dried neat’s-tongue, you bull’s-pizzle, you stock-fish—O for breath to utter what is like thee!—you tailor’s-yard, you sheath, you bow-case, you vile standing tuck!”
Lian Dolan, Elizabeth the First Wife

“when you’re lying, it’s best to stick as close to the truth as you can.”
Lian Dolan, The Sweeney Sisters
