Lemony Snicket
“This is my knife. It is very sharp and very eager to hurt you.”
Lemony Snicket, The Reptile Room

Vladimir Nabokov
“Toska - noun /ˈtō-skə/ - Russian word roughly translated as sadness, melancholia, lugubriousness.

"No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”
Vladimir Nabokov

Vladimir Nabokov
“You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.”
Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
“Truth to tell, the longer I live, the more I'm tempted to think that the only moderately worthwhile people in the world are you and I.”
Choderlos de Laclos, Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Lemony Snicket
“Having an aura of menace is like having a pet weasel, because you rarely meet someone who has one, and when you do, it makes you want to hide under the coffee table.”
Lemony Snicket
