Charles Dickens
“And there, with an aching void in his young heart, and all outside so cold, and bare, and strange, Paul sat as if he had taken life unfurnished, and the upholsterer were never coming.”
Charles Dickens, Dombey and Son

Thomas Hardy
“So many people make a name now-a-days, that it is more distinguished to remain in obscurity.”
Thomas Hardy, A Pair of Blue Eyes

“For who owns that car, or that washing machine, or that apartment? Not the man himself. The banks own them, the insurance companies, ultimately the State. They are his only on credit, on sufferance. Every month he lops off a bit of his life and labor and mails it to the bank, or the credit card company, or the Government. He is in thrall; and there is no foreseeable end to it.”
Jon Manchip White

James Bryce
“The spirit of faction outlived the cause of faction, and became itself the new and prolific source of a useless, endless strife.”
James Bryce

Lewis Mumford
“A good pursued too inflexibly may turn into a granite evil.”
Lewis Mumford, The City in History: Its Origins, Its Transformations, and Its Prospects
