“Not mentally. But I haven't the courage of my views, as I said before. I didn't marry him altogether because of the scandal. But sometimes a woman's LOVE OF BEING LOVED gets the better of her conscience, and though she is agonized at the thought of treating a man cruelly, she encourages him to love her while she doesn't love him at all. Then, when she sees him suffering, her remorse sets in, and she does what she can to repair the wrong.”
― Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure

“See? If you would have gotten a dog like I told you to, you'd be one of the cool kids around here."

"And I told I work too much to have a dog. If you want a dog, you get a dog."

"Obviously, the first part of the plan would be for you to get a pool installed, and then build a pool house for me to live in."

She frowned at him and punched him in the chest. "Your imaginary dog is already costing me an imaginary fortune."

"The upside is that imaginary dogs aren't big eaters. You're already saving a fortune on dog food.”

“Wait a minute.

He eyed her suspiciously. "Is that my shirt?"

She looked down at herself and shrugged. "Doesn't everyone have a Catacombs shirt?"

"Probably most of the people we know, but if you look closely the one you're wearing says Grant on the sleeve."

"Oh, is that your name? I just assumed someone granted me this T-shirt.”
― Sparrow Beckett, All's Fair in Love and Mastery

‘Very true, ma’am,’ agreed Mr Beaumaris meekly.
Miss Tallant was not deceived. She looked sharply up at him, and bit her lip, saying after a moment: ‘We are speaking of Jemmy!’
‘I hoped we were,’ confessed Mr Beaumaris.”
