Lisa Kleypas
“You're returning to your room barefoot?" Tom asked.
"I have no choice."
"Is there something I can do to help?"
Cassandra shook her head. "I can sneak upstairs myself." She let out a quick little laugh. "Like Cinderella sans pumpkin."
He tilted his head in that inquiring way he had. "Did she have a pumpkin?"
"Yes, haven't you ever read the story?"
"My childhood was short on fairy tales."
"The pumpkin becomes her carriage," Cassandra explained.
"I'd have recommended a vehicle with a longer date of expiration."
She knew better than to try explaining fairy-tale magic to such a pragmatic man.”
Lisa Kleypas, Chasing Cassandra

Iris Murdoch
“I mean he's honest, he sees the terrible things, he doesn't try to cover them up or imagine them away — the evil of the world, the senselessness of it all, the rottenness of us ordinary people, our fantasy life, our selfishness —”
Iris Murdoch, The Green Knight
