Jane Austen
The idea of Dumbledore's corpse frightened Harry much less than the possibility that he might have misunderstood the living Dumbledore's intentions. J. K. Rowling
Did Maleldil suggest that our own world might have been saved if the elephant had accidentally trodden on the serpent a moment before Eve was about to yield? C. S. Lewis
Margaret Atwood quote: "They are as happy as they can be, given who they are. Though..."
They are as happy as they can be, given who they are. Though if they'd been different people they might have been happier. Margaret Atwood
So you think that the coco- mark well what I say, Hastings, the coco- contained strychnine?" "Of course! That salt on the tray, what else could it have been?" "It might have been salt." replied Poirot placidly. Agatha Christie

The side whiskers indeed were quite handsome. But he stroked them so very zealously that looking at him, one might very well think that first just the side whiskers had been brought into the world, and then later the gentleman was attached to them in order to stroke them. Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was hard to believe that someone so beautiful could be real. I was afraid that he might disappear in a sudden puff of smoke, and I would wake up. Stephenie Meyer
