Books have to be read it is the only way of discovering what they contain.

A facade of skyscrapers facing a lake and behind the facade, every type of dubiousness.

I think you’re beautiful, the only beautiful person I’ve ever seen. I love your voice and everything to do with you, down to your clothes or the room you are sitting in. I adore you.

I am an unspeakable of the Oscar Wilde sort.

When we were only acquaintances, you let me be myself, but now you're always protecting me... I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult. Can't I be trusted to face the truth but I must get it second-hand through you? A woman's place!

This element of surprise or mystery the detective element as it is sometimes rather emptily called is of great importance in a plot.

I am certainly an ought and not a must.
