Agatha Christie
“The chains of habit. We work to attain an object, and the object gained, we find that what we miss is the daily toil.”
Agatha Christie, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Paul Auster
“And that's why books are never going to die. It's impossible. It's the only time we really go into the mind of a stranger, and we find our common humanity doing this. So the book doesn't only belong to the writer, it belongs to the reader as well, and then together you make it what it is.”
Paul Auster

A.J. Finn
“Ad astra per aspera, read the inscription. Through adversity to the stars.”
A.J. Finn, The Woman in the Window

Terry Pratchett
“God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players [i.e. everybody], to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.”
Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

Cormac McCarthy
“Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of his existence. Something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
