Quote by Exurb1a

“The world is not a mechanical place, sir, whatever you might think. Sprites and wizards do not exist, in this universe at least. But there are beautiful truths to the world positioned so closely to your face that you have failed to see them your entire life. If you wish it, I will show them to you.” “Heaven,” Barnett said quickly. “Will I go there?” “No.” “What is it then?” he whispered. “Just black?” “Darker than that, sir. Two minutes and two seconds.”

“Montmorency's ambition in life, is to get in the way and be sworn at. If he can squirm in anywhere where he particularly is not wanted, and be a perfect nuisance, and make people mad, and have things thrown at his head, then he feels his day has not been wasted. To get somebody to stumble over him, and curse him steadily for an hour, is his highest aim and object; and, when he has succeeded in accomplishing this, his conceit becomes quite unbearable.”

It’s the humidity that fills the air and —— It’s the flashes of the movie projector as another memory emerges”

“When you’re married, you’re privy to the misunderstanding.

One refers to you as the girl from L.A., and the other refers to you as the dependent spouse.”
