― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“She was not sure if she would want him to have known; we do not always wish for those for whom we long to know that we long for them, especially if the longing is impossible, or inappropriate. . . to be loved by the unlovable was not something that most people could cope with.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“But that's exactly the problem, retorted Isabel. We're all stuck with the same tired and trusted ideas. If we refused to entertain the possibility of something radically different, then we'd never make any progress - ever. We'd still be thinking that the sun revolved round the earth.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“Isabel had firm views on moral proximity and the obligations it created. WE cannot choose the situations in which we become involved in this life; we are caught up in them whether we like it or not.

― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“Many waters cannot quench love: the anthem's setting remained in her ears, repeating itself; a tune so powerful that it might gird one against the disappointments of life, rather than make one aware that our attempts to subdue the pain of unrequited love - of impossible love, of love that we are best to put away and not to think about - tended not to work, and only made the wounds of love more painful.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“In an earlier age, it might have been possible to believe that goodness would prevail over pride, but not anymore. The proud could be proud with impunity, because there was nobody to contradict him in his pride and because narcissism was no longer considered a vice. That was what the whole cult of celebrity was about, she thought; and we fêted these people and fed their vanity.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“Chance; pure chance. But chance was a dull explanation because it denied the possibility of the paranormal, and people were often disappointed by dull explanations. Mystery and the unknown were far more exciting because they suggested that our world was not quite as prosaic as we feared it might be. Yet we had to adjure those temptations because they lead to a world of darkness and fear. ”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“If we were all responsible for the misdeeds of the governments that represent us, thought Isabel, then the moral burden would be just too great.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“It's how we read the face, said Ian. Remember that you're talking to a psychologist. We like to think about things like that. It's a question of numerous little signals that create the overall impression.
But how do internal states who themselves physically?
Very easily, said Ian. Think of anger. The knitted brow. Think of determination. The gritted teeth.
And intelligence?
Liveliness and engagement with the world.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“What is beauty, she thought, but the promise of happiness, as Stendhal said it was?”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“And the difference was this, she mused: those who are twenty don’t know what it is like to be forty, whereas those who are forty know what it is like to be twenty. It was a bit like discussing a foreign country with somebody who has never been there. They are prepared to listen, but it’s not quite real for them.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“And she, Isabel, had gone along with this and all the time what was happening was she was becoming increasingly possessive of Jamie without ever having to acknowledge it. Now there was another woman, a girl really, and there was an obvious intimacy between them, which would exclude her as it would have to do, and that would be the end of everything.”

“thought,”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“Though so much was ill-gotten, when one came to think of it. How did anybody become rich other than by exploiting others? And even those who did not exploit could enjoy the fruits of exploitation. Rich Western societies were wealthy because of imperialism, which had been a form of theft, and now the poor in those rich societies strove to obtain more generous payments from the state, which could only pay them because of the position of relative economic advantage which past plunder had set up. Living, just living, it seemed, meant that one had to participate in a crime; unless, of course, one changed one's definition of a crime to include only those things that one did oneself. And surely this was the only practical way of looking at it.”
― Alexander McCall Smith, Friends, Lovers, Chocolate

“...these people had a house on a beach and sat on a marble terrace, which must have cost heaven knows what to import and they looked out at the sea. And there were no books in their house, not a single book. Not one..They had a daughter...who was as empty-headed as the parents and although they tried to do something about her education, nothing much got in. She had a baby, and the baby had nothing much in its head either.”

“There were countless injustices and difficulties in this world, but small points of light too, where the darkness was held back.”
