"I must be far gone, I thought, when this casual accolade from an obviously preoccupied man could make me glow all through."
-The Moon-Spinners p.213 (Mary Stewart)
"I think that such a spectacle as you and Jervis are a menace to society. You look so happy and peaceful and companionable that you induce a defenseless on-looker to rush off and snap up the first man she meets --- and he's always the wrong man."
-Dear Enemy p.335 (Jean Webster)
"'What about Grace?' said Bonny quietly, aware that her dream was someone else's nightmare."
-"Bonny in Scotland", Scottish Girls About Town p.353 (Katie Agnew)
"If you were another woman, I could tell you I loved you, easily enough, but not you -- because you've always seemed to me like a part of myself, and it would be like saying I loved my own eyes or my own mind. But have you ever thought of what it would be to have to live without your mind or you eyes, Kate? To be mad? Or blind?"
-The Perilous Guard p.279 (Elizabeth Marie Pope)
