It would mean that I’d been positively identified; it would mean that there was something to be said about me. “A sluggard!” Why,... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Hazel used his trick. "They got no starfish there?"They got no ocean there" said Doc."Oh!" said Hazel and he cast frantically about for a peg to hang a new question on. He hated to have a conversation die out like this. He wasn't quick enough. While he was looking for a question Doc asked one.

We talked of love, and all we said would fill a book thicker than this. Yet all we said was only this: that I loved her and she loved me, and we had waited long and long, would be parted no longer. Gene Wolfe
You're a terrible man for the blankets, said Kerrigan. I'm not ashamed to admit that I love my bed, said Byrne. She was my first friend... She will house me in my last hour and faithfully hold my cold body when I am dead. She will look bereaved when I am gone. Flann O'Brien
You know, Ellsworth,' Keating said, leaning forward, happy in an uneasy kind of way, 'I'd rather talk to you than do anything else, anything at all. I had so many places to go tonight--and I'm so much happier sitting here with you. Sometimes I wonder how I'd ever go on without you.' 'That,' said Toohey, 'is as it should be. Or else what are friends for? Ayn Rand
Why do you give me cars?"It's fun," Ranger said."And it keeps you safe. Do you want to know why keeping you safe is important to me?"You love me?"Yes."A sigh inadvertently escaped. "We're really screwed up, aren't we?"In a very large way," Ranger said. Janet Evanovich
Uncle alone in the house with the children said he'd dress up to amuse them. After a long wait, as he did not appear, they went down and saw a masked man putting the table silver into a bag.
