“My dear, my dearest dust; I come, I come.”

“Boys were so proud - you always had to let them think they were good at things.”

“Dear Artificer, I’ve blown my quanta and gone to the Good Place!”

“That's what I learned. I learned I couldn't shed light on love other than to feel its comings and goings and be grateful.”

“I will land on my feet with a smile on my face.”

“I read old novels. The reason is simple: I prefer proper endings. Marriages and deaths, noble sacrifices and miraculous restorations, tragic separations and unhoped-for reunions, great falls and dreams fulfilled; these, in my view, constitute an ending worth the wait. They should come after adventures, perils, dangers and dilemmas, and wind everything up nice and neatly. Endings like this are to be found more commonly in old novels than new ones, so I read old novels.”
