William Shakespeare quote: "She speaks poniards, and every word stabs."
She speaks poniards, and every word stabs. William Shakespeare
She should have remembered that people have given everything they own, everything they are, to be taken care of, and to have their pain gone. It's the lure of cults: the promise of a good family; it's what people think love is, but love isn't absence of pain, it's a hand to hold while you're going through it. Laurell K. Hamilton
She was not too tall, and of a voluptuous build, so that my eyes wandered amid many charms that hitherto had been strangers to them. E. T. A. Hoffmann

Marcel Proust
She was learning, quite late, what many people around her appeared to have known since childhood that life can be perfectly satisfying without major achievements. Alice Munro
She assured them, too, of her firm belief, that, at some brighter period, when the world should have grown ripe for it, in Heaven's own time, a new truth would be revealed, in order to stablish the whole relation between man and woman on a surer ground of mutual happiness. Nathaniel Hawthorne
She said he just looked as if he was asleep, he looked that peaceful and resigned. No one would think he'd make such a beautiful corpse. James Joyce
She's sweet but too apocalyptic. You try kissing someone good-night who's just told you for the umpteenth time that the world's experiencing its last disgusting paroxysm before Rapture. George Saunders
She understood as women often do more easily than men, that the declared meaning of a spoken sentence is only its overcoat, and the real meaning lies underneath its scarves and buttons. Peter Carey
Michael Cunningham quote: "She could have had a life as potent and dangerous as..."
