“Where do I come into all of this? Am I just some animal or dog?' And that started them off govoreeting real loud and throwing slovos at me. So I creeched louder still, creeching: 'Am I just to be like a clockwork orange?”
― Anthony Burgess, A Clockwork Orange

“He wasn't sure how it had come about, but her good opinion meant a great deal to him. Of course, he needed her approval in his much-neglected suit of Edwina, but there was more to it than that. She'd insulted him, she'd nearly dunked him in The Serpentine, she'd humiliated him at Pall Mall, and yet he craved her good opinion.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“Yes, that's exactly what he would do. Avoid her. How difficult could that be?”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“And then there was Kate Sheffield. The bane of his existence. And the object of his desires. All at once.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“And in that moment he realized that this was about more than love. This woman made him a better person. He'd been good and strong and kind before, but with her at his side, he was something more.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“Love isn't about being afraid that it will all be snatched away. Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete, who makes you a better person than you ever dreamed you could be. It's about looking in the eyes of your wife and knowing, all the way to your bones, that she's simply the best person you've ever known.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“This one isn’t a girl, Mama. I keep telling you, I planted a boy this time. Why don’t you believe me?”

“He knew well the singularly strange sensation of loving one's family to distraction, and yet not feeling quite able to share one's deepest and most intractable fears. It brought on an uncanny sense of isolation, of being remarkably alone in a loud and loving crowd.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“Love was truly a spectacular, sacred thing. Anthony knew that. He'd seen it every day of his childhood, every time his parents had shared a glance or touched hands.
But love was the enemy of the dying man. It was the only thing that could make the rest of his years intolerable - to taste bliss and know that it would all be snatched away.”
― Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me

“It’s a good rule when you are walking into the West Wing of the White House to advise the president, vice president, or the White House staff to remind yourself that this might be the last time you will walk through that door. If you base your advice on the truth and on scientific evidence and do not sugarcoat anything, it is likely that sooner or later you will be telling the president or the vice president something they really don't want to hear, something that may point out a problem with how their administration is handling an issue. Sometimes when advisers do that, their opinion is no longer sought. It's a version of shooting the messenger. Some people might fall into the trap of never wanting to disappoint a powerful figure, and so they slant their advice toward pleasing rather than informing. Don't fall into that trap.' I hope I would have arrived at the wisdom Jim imparted on my own, but he was explicit about it, and continued, 'If you're consistent and totally honest, you might risk being being dropped as an adviser, but this approach with the right kind of president or vice president can also engender respect and a durable relationship.”
