“I’m the least fanciful guy around, but on nights when I wonder whether there was any point to my day, I think about this: the first thing we ever did, when we started turning into humans, was draw a line across the cave door and say: Wild stays out. What I do is what the first men did. They built walls to keep back the sea. They fought the wolves for the hearth fire.”
― Tana French, Broken Harbour

“There’s an insult buried in there somewhere, but I can’t quite see it.”
― Ian Rankin, The Falls

“I abhorred weakness of any kind but most particularly in my tea.”
― Deanna Raybourn, A Curious Beginning

“The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.”
― Sue Grafton, J is for Judgment
