A.S. Byatt
“Perhaps if I had made his life more difficult, he would have written less, or less freely. I cannot claim to be the midwife to genius, but if I have not facilitated,I have at least not, as many women might have done, prevented. This is a very small virtue to claim, a very negative achievement to hang my whole life on.”
Byatt A. S., Possession

“Will arrived home just after 2:00 a.m., exhausted and ready for bed. One glimpse of seeing Emerald passed out on his couch and snuggled in his comforter had his eyes ready for more. She looked so damn good in his house. All he wanted was to wake her up long enough to come to his bed, so he could wrap her in his arms and drift off to her scent.”
H.S. Howe, Wrestling William

E.F. Benson
“Yes, dear, I said beer,'" remarked Robert a little irritably," and in any case, I insist that you dismiss your present cook. You only took her because she was a Christian Scientist, and you have left that little sheepfold now. You used to talk about false claims, I remember. Well, her claim to be a cook is the falsest I've ever heard of.”
E.F. Benson, Queen Lucia

Walter Scott
“But high and perilous enterprise is not Waverley's forte. He would never have been his celebrated ancestor Sir Nigel, but only Sir Nigel's eulogist and poet. I will tell you where he will be at home, my dear, and in his place, - in the quiet circle of domestic happiness, lettered indolence, and elegant enjoyments, of Waverley-Honour. And he will refit the old library in the most exquisite Gothic taste, and garnish its shelves with the rarest and most valuable volumes; and he will draw plans and landscapes, and write verses, and rear temples, and dig grottoes; - and he will stand in a clear summer night in the colonnade before the hall, and gaze on the deer as they stray in the moonlight, or lie shadowed by the boughs of the huge old fantastic oaks; - and he will repeat verses to his beautiful wife, who will hang upon his arm; - and he will be a happy man.”
Walter Scott, Waverley
