Reading good books ruins you for enjoying bad books.

If there is Predestination, then God is the devil. by Remy, Ravensbruck concentration camp survivor

It was amazing to me then, and still is, that so many people who wander into bookshops don't really know what they're after--they only want to look around and hope to see a book that will strike their fancy. And then, being bright enough not to trust the publisher's blurb, they will ask the book clerk the three questions: (1) What is it about? (2) Have you read it? (3) Was it any good?

After all, what's good enough for Austen ought to be good enough for anyone.

I much prefer whining to counting my blessings.

‎What a blight that woman is. Do you happen to know why? I lean toward a malignant fairy at her christening.

I don't want to be married just to be married.
