Quotations

From Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence

The world is supposed to be full of possibilities, but they narrow down to pretty few in most personal experiences. There's lots of good fish in the sea...maybe...but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you're not a mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea.

I love this becasue it sounded so much like me.

From The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

I hope it did not end happily? I don't like novels that end happily. They depress me so much

From The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton

Always be comic in a tragedy

From Lady Orcale by Margaret Atwood:

Anything is the type of thing anyone would do, given the right circumstances.

....but a letter is the portrait of the soul

From Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos
