Instead, she felt an odd calm spirit here in the wilderness. Was this the way people felt at the instant they leapt into rivers and streams? Was it like this when you fell in love, stood on the train tracks, went to a country where no one spoke... Alice Hoffman
They were students of the expressions of young women as they went in to confession, and they saw them as they came out and read the nature of the sin. John Steinbeck
Do you need someone to talk to?" she said gently. "Oh. Thank you. No, no, I'm fine." He touched his face? he'd been crying harder than he'd realized. "You sure? You don't look fine." "No, really. I've just . . . I've just had a very intense emotional experience." He held out one of his iPod headphones, as if that would explain it. "On here." "You're crying about music?" The woman looked at him as if he were some kind of pervert. "Well," said Duncan. "I'm not crying about it. I'm not sure... Nick Hornby

'When a woman powders her nose, Inspector, she loses count of time. My... Georgette Heyer
Bram Stoker quote: "Perhaps I may gain more knowledge out of the folly of this..."
Perhaps I may gain more knowledge out of the folly of this madman than I shall from the teaching of the most wise. Bram Stoker
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there—good for you. "But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.
