Caleb Carr
“It is never easier to understand the mind of a bomb-wielding anarchist than when standing amid a crush of those ladies and gentlemen who have the money and temerity to style themselves "New York Society.”
Caleb Carr, The Alienist

William Golding
“My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are gray faces that peer over my shoulder.”
William Golding

“In truth we were quickly reaching--had likely enough already reached--the age where it no longer made sense to talk about "promise." It was around this time that I remarked to Max that no matter what we now achieved no one would say, "He's so young." Precocity had passed us by.
"After twenty-eight," I sad sadly, "you're judged on your merits."
"Unless one of us dies," Max corrected me. "Then they'll all say, 'He was so young.”
Christopher R. Beha, What Happened to Sophie Wilder

Henry James
“The effort really to see and really to represent is no idle business in face of the constant force that makes for muddlement. The great thing is indeed that the muddled state too is one of the very sharpest of the realities, that it also has color and form and character, has often in fact a broad and rich comicality.”
Henry James

Guy de Maupassant
“There is only one good thing in life, and that is love.”
Guy de Maupassant, The Complete Short Stories of de Maupassant
