Louise Penny
“Most people want to be led. But suppose they choose the wrong leader? They end up with the Donner party.”
Louise Penny, The Long Way Home

Anna Quindlen
“People froze you in place. More important, you froze yourself, often into a person in whom you truly had no interest.”
Anna Quindlen

Lauren Willig
“She could feel herself pressing the details into memory, saving them like dried flowers kept in a spinster's chest, relics of a past that might have been, of a future that never was.”
Lauren Willig, The English Wife

Louise Penny
“What could be worse? Dying, and not being missed.”
Louise Penny, A Rule Against Murder

John Donne
“I
Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Which was my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt thou forgive that sin, though which I run,
And do run still: though still I do deplore?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For, I have more.

II
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I have won
Others to sin? And, made my sin their door?
Wilt thou forgive that sin which I did shun
A year, or two: but wallowed in, a score?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For I have more.

III
I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by thy self, that at my death thy son
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
And, having done that, thou hast done,
I fear no more.”
John Donne, The Complete English Poems
