“A theory is something nobody believes, except the person who made it. An experiment is something everybody believes, except the person who made it.”

“You were the the exception to the rule. You were the one person who made me rethink everything I ever believed in and I’m so happy that you did.”

“Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case.”

“The men who made the joke saw something deep which they could not express except by something silly and emphatic.”

“Everything is really something else in disguise. Of course she was no exception, she reminded herself. Everybody would assume that she was there as the Childersins’ novelty pet, or as a Perfume-detector. Nobody would guess that she was there to look for the person who had stolen her history.”

“Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.”
