“You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

“His temper might perhaps be a little soured by finding, like many others of his sex, that through some unaccountable bias in favour of beauty, he was the husband of a very silly woman.”
― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

“I could not help experiencing that chill which comes over one at the coming of the dawn, which is like, in its way, the turn of the tide.”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Confidences are always risky: a secret entrusted to a stranger makes him less of one.”
― Stefan Zweig, The Post-Office Girl
