Anthony Trollope
“Of course he had committed forgery;--of course he had committed robbery. That, indeed, was nothing, for he had been cheating and forging and stealing all his life.”
Anthony Trollope, The Way We Live Now

H.L. Mencken
“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.”
H.L. Mencken

Anton Chekhov
“Grisha, a fat, solemn little person of seven, was standing by the kitchen door listening and peeping through the keyhole.”
Anton Pavlovich Chejov

August Strindberg
“Life is not so idiotically mathematical that only the big eat the small; it is just as common for a bee to kill a lion or at least to drive it mad.”
August Strindberg, Miss Julie

Edith Wharton
“Xingu!" she scoffed. "Why, it was the fact of our knowing so much more about it than she did—unprepared though we were—that made Osric Dane so furious. I should have thought that was plain enough to everybody!”
Edith Wharton, Ethan Frome & Selected Stories
