| 0a92126 | Admittedly, they [(places in novels)] didn't all have such ridiculous names as the ones in the Piddle Valley where her father's group of parishes was centered. It would have been hard to make credible a romantic fiction set in Farleigh Piddle, Middle Piddle, Nether Piddle and Piddle Dummer. | Val McDermid | ||

| 5e30c16 | It's your fault because you got me into Morag Fraser. I'd never even heard of the Hebridean Harpies series till you dragged me along to her event. And now I am totally hooked. I was reading Vampires on Vatersay till one in the morning. I just had to finish it. And then I started Banshees of Berneray at breakfast and I could hardly drag myself away from it to come and meet you. | jane-austen northanger-abbey val-mcdermid | Val McDermid | |

Why don't we all just go, "Oh well, we've seen how well it works in the movies, let's just go along with it"?'

| e5a6492 | Se pregunto con desconsuelo en que mundo estaban viviendo. Un mundo donde la gente joven intentaba quitarse la vida de algun modo. Decidio que en ese momento estaban sumergidos en una epoca que se podria llamar el tiempo de los fracasos. Las ilusiones que se habian forjado resultaron ser menos solidas de lo esperado. Creian edificar una casa y lo que hacian en realidad era erigir un monumento sobre algo ya pasado y casi olvidado. Suecia se .. | Henning Mankell | ||
| fda600b | He had been working with some of them for over fifteen years. It occurred to him that these were people who made up the content of a large proportion of his life. He was now the one who had been working longer than anybody else in the Ystad CID. Once upon a time he'd been the newcomer. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 8be97ac | He dedicado mucho tiempo de mi vida a los crimenes y a las investigaciones de los mismos. Mi planteamiento es que el mal siempre es fruto de las circunstancias, nunca es congenito. He escrito sobre crimenes porque ilustran mejor que ninguna otra cosa las contradicciones que constituyen la base de la vida humana. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 46af046 | in a rash moment he decided to lie his way to the truth. If he wasn't mistaken, Ellen Magnusson had had very little experience with the police. She would assume that they searched for the truth by being honest themselves. She was the one who would lie, not the police. | Henning Mankell | ||

| 51f5d23 | China is a poor country. The economic development everybody talks about has only benefited a limited part of the population. If this way of leading China into the future continues, with a gap between the rich and the poor growing wider all the time, it will end up in catastrophe. China will be thrust back once more into hopeless chaos. Or fascist structures will become dominant. We are defending the hundreds of millions of peasants who, whe.. | Henning Mankell | ||

| 1bed5a2 | Wherever battles are waged there are casualties, and death is a common occurrence. But what is closest to our hearts is the best interest of the people and the suffering of the vast majority, and when we die for the people, it is an honorable death. Nevertheless we should do our best to avoid unnecessary casualties. Mao Zedong, 1944 | dying-for-your-country for-the-greater-good henning-mankell mao-quote mao-zedong maoism | Henning Mankell | |

Aven om utgangen var given kunde man trotta ut doden sa att den bara hade krafter nog att utdela ett sista hugg. Det var sa vi bestamde att doden skulle bli for oss bada, nat man skulle klara av sa "att det gick bra"." | Henning Mankell | ||
| 2501946 | Nagonstans ute i morkret, borta vid de lomska Stokgrunden slog en osynliga gadda en virvel, och mot oster, dar gryningen brukade komma skrek en uppretad tarna. Kanske ocksa faglar hade mardrommar? | Henning Mankell | ||

| c7f7f1a | People have faces. [...] Spirits don't have faces. And yet we recognise them. We know who is who. Spirits don't have eyes or mouths or ears either.

| 17a985c | Marianne replaces the yogurt pot in the freezer now and asks Joanna if she finds it strange, to be paid for her hours at work - to exchange, in other words, blocks of her extremely limited time on this earth for the human invention known as money. | philosophy work | Sally Rooney | |
| fb8b186 | Chip and I were both exhausted when we finally pulled up in front of that house, but we were still riding the glow of our honeymoon, and I was so excited as he carried me over the threshold--until the smell nearly knocked us over. "Oh my word," I said, pinching my nose and trying to hold my breath so I wouldn't gag. "What is that?" Chip flicked the light switch, and the light didn't come on. He flicked it up and down a few times, then felt .. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| c72dab3 | It was awful. It was three in the morning. And I finally said, "Chip, I'm not sleeping in this house." We were broke. We couldn't go to a hotel. There was no way we were gonna go knock on one of our parents' doors at that time of night. That's when I got an idea. We happened to have Chip's parents' old RV parked in a vacant lot a few blocks down. We had some of our things in there and had been using it basically as a storage unit until we m.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| c3bd70f | We did every part of this renovation together with our bare hands. Chip restored all of the wood floors, all the tile work--everything. I was learning as we went, but I definitely did my part. That house was gorgeous. Jo did an awesome job helping fix it up, and her ideas were great. There was a moment in the kitchen when I smarted off, though. I don't even remember what I said, to be honest, but Jo got real mad and started yelling. She was.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 38e3812 | That was our first real "fight," and even now we both agree it was our biggest. Chip had smarted off about something, so my blood was already boiling, but when I slammed that bucket down, Chip says I became a ninja--the kind you don't want to mess with. Yet he laughed, against his better judgment. We joke about it now, like, "Well, I'm mad, but I'm not primer-in-the-face mad." | Joanna Gaines |
