“My True Name is so well known in the Records, or Registers at Newgate, and in the Old-Baily, and there are some things of such Consequence still depending there, relating to my particular Conduct, that it is not to be expected I should set my Name, or the Account of my Family to this Work; perhaps, after my Death it may be better known, at present it would not be proper, no, not tho' a general Pardon should be issued, even without Exceptions and reserve of Persons or Crimes.” ShouldWellsMayPersonsStillsBookNamesKnownRecordsCrimeParticularConsequenceMy FamilyAccountsExpectedExceptionReservesWell KnownPardonRegister Book:Moll Flanders Source: Moll Flanders

“I had no companions to quarrel with, nobody to assist, and nobody to thank... the evil consequence of all this was not, however, what might perhaps have been expected, that I grew up selfish or non affectionate; but that, when affection did come, it came with a violence utterly rampant and unmanageable.” Has BeensMightEvilViolenceGrewGrew UpConsequenceAffectionExpectedSelfishCompanionWickednessQuarrelsAffectionate Author:John Ruskin
“I find no change of consequence in grown people, I do not miss the dead. It does not surprise me to hear that this friend or that friend died at such and such a time, because I fully expected that sort of news. But somehow I had made no calculation on the infants. It never occurred to me that infants grow up...These unexpected changes, from infancy to youth, and from youth to maturity, are by far the most startling things I meet with.” PeopleDoeMadeAgeGrowsGrowing UpMissingYouthNewsConsequenceDiedSurpriseExpectedMaturityUnexpectedInfantCalculationsInfancySurprise MeFriend Died Author:Mark Twain
