“We may perhaps go even further, and save both Holmes' responsibility and Watson's Hippocratic oath, by speculating whether perhaps Dr Grimesby Roylott did not die from snake poison at all, but from apoplexy brought on by his herculean efforts to whistle back a deaf and unresponsive reptile, aided by general exhaustion caused by too frequent indulgence in poker bending.”
D. Martin Dakin

“To sew is to pray. Men don't understand this. They see the whole but they don't see the stitches. They don't see the speech of the creator in the work of the needle. We mend. We women turn things inside out and set things right. We salvage what we can of human garments and piece the rest into blankets. Sometimes our stitches stutter and slow. Only a woman's eyes can tell. Other times, the tension in the stitches might be too tight because of tears, but only we know what emotion went into the making. Only women can hear the prayer.”
Louise Erdrich, Four Souls

“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Tim O'Brien
“Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.”
Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
