Quote by Vicky Zimmerman

“Highgate Cemetery's near me." "I'm hoping to be there myself, in a week or two." "Oh, on one of their cemetery tours?" "No, dead. In the ground. Mortal coil: shuffled off." "Okay, then," says Kate, grabbing her handbag and swinging it onto her shoulder. "See you next week, Mrs. Finn." "Not if I'm dead," says Cecily. "If you are, I'll swing by Highgate and pay my respects." "Touché," says Cecily, and although Kate doesn't turn around, she could swear Cecily is smiling.”

Cassie yanked her hair out of his fist and took a step away from him.  "Honey limpkins," she said, sarcastically, "we are not.”

“You are indeed teaching me about kinds of love I did not know. It is like looking into a deep pit. I am not sure whether I like your kind better than hatred. Oh, Orual — to take my love for you, because you know it goes down to my very roots and cannot be diminished by any other newer love, and then to make of it a tool, a weapon, a thing of policy and mastery, an instrument of torture — I begin to think I never knew you.”

“Love is my favorite drug; I overdose on it regularly.”

“Women are the best thieves you will ever meet; they steal your heart and your last name, but never get to spend the night in jail.”

“The spectacular thing about Johnny [von Neumann] was not his power as a mathematician, which was great, or his insight and his clarity, but his rapidity; he was very, very fast. And like the modern computer, which no longer bothers to retrieve the logarithm of 11 from its memory (but, instead, computes the logarithm of 11 each time it is needed), Johnny didn't bother to remember things. He computed them. You asked him a question, and if he didn't know the answer, he thought for three seconds and would produce and answer.”
