“I sounded ignorant and shallow, a twerp with no experience of life.”
– Helen Garner, Joe Cinque’s Consolation
“Overcome with dread,
they wept and affirmed their love for each other, witlessly,
over and over again.”
– Donald Hall, Without: Poems
“I consider my father and mother the best part of myself, sir.”
– George Eliot, Middlemarch
