| adba2c6 | I wonder if this is it. If I have finally flown too far from home. I think of Ramonda and Ororo. Zuri and W'Kabi. Father and S'yan. But above all, I think of you. and I think of dying out here, of drifting out here, in search of but far away from you. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 2734f2c | And I remember that I have come to bring you back, in the full ambition that it is you who will bring all of us back. What have you discovered here, Shuri? | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||
| 8c22fed | Even in their final hours, my parents had hope. Once, they had put their hope in Wakanda. Now, they put their hope in Killmonger who would make Niganda great. Greater than even Wakanda. He promised them power and a country greater than any country in Africa. They were blinded by their desperate faith. Blinded by their hope. | Ta-Nehisi Coates | ||

| 68d7019 | There was something strangely peaceful about the house, something very rare and difficult to define. It was like a house in an old tale, discovered by the hero one evening in midsummer. In the tale there would be strands of ivy clustering the walls, and barring the entrance and the house itself would have slept for a thousand years. | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| 3e50521 | I scanned the criticisms of recent books to see if there were any that resembled mine. I resented them all; it seemed to me too many people wrote in England, too many people had ideas. | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| df7f6b9 | My aunt, who disapproved of gaiety on principle, made a moue of disdain. | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| 109a25c | It is all very simple really. There are no dark problems about it. I have no grudge against society, no bitter hatred of my fellow-men. It just happens that the problems of piracy interest me, suit my particular bent of thought. It is not just a matter of brutality and bloodshed, you know. The organization takes many hours of many days, every detail of a landing has to be thought out, and prepared. I hate disorder, or any slipshod method of.. | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| 4ef01ba | Now you are here, let me show you everything," she said, her voice ingratiating and sweet as honey, horrible, false, "I know you want to see it all, you've wanted to for a long time, and you were too shy to ask. It's a lovely room, isn't it? The loveliest room you have ever seen." | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| 94ac08f | But you. I can't forget what it has done to you. I was looking at you, thinking of nothing else through lunch. It's gone forever, that funny, young, lost look that I loved. It won't come back again. | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| ad5c3b1 | The other Dona was dead too, and this woman who had taken her place was someone who lived with greater intensity, with greater depth, bringing to every thought and every action a new richness of feeling, and an appreciation, half sensuous in its quality, of all the little things that came to make her day. | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| d73e6db | There was nothing for it but to sit in my usual place beside Mrs. Van Hopper while she, like a large, complacent spider, spun her wide net of tedium about the stranger's person." I think I've met Mrs. Van Hopper on numerous occasions." | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| 397d213 | The poet's insight into the unchanging spirit of humanity...." "Insight" was a good word. My father was great on insight. I had lived with him for twenty years and I ought to know. "His intimate understanding of the deep unspoken desires that lie sleeping in the breast of every one of us...." So the papers said. I thought of him turning his eyes upon me in the dining room at home: "Yes, Richard must bicycle into Lessington." Intimate unders.. | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| e967738 | The children left him and ran. A pathway led up through the close sapling oaks, and almost at the top of the ascent they encountered Mrs. Lewarne--Linnet. She too had a basket on her arm. Now Johnny might believe in fairies and suchlike, but to Mary Mrs. Lewarne was a vision of all things desirable in grown-up life--beauty, grace, carriage, a sweet commanding voice, the true accent, clothes, and all delicate appanages of wealth--everything .. | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| 1abc1e8 | Es inutil, ?verdad? Nunca la podra vencer. Esta muerta, pero aun manda aqui. Ella es la senora de verdad, y no usted. Aquien olvidan y dan de lado y rechazan... es a usted. ?Por que no se va de Manderley? ?Por que no se marcha usted? Aqui nadie la quiere. El senr no la quiere ni la ha querido nunca. No puede olvidar a mi senorita. | jealousy | Daphne du Maurier | |

| fe16897 | No, Mary had no illusions about romance. Falling in love was a pretty name for it, that was all. Jem Merlyn was a man, and she was a woman, and whether it was his hands or his skin or his smile she did not know, but something inside her responded to him, and the very thought of him was an irritant and a stimulant at the same time. It nagged at her and would not let her be. She knew she would have to see him again. | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| d165c8c | The spaniel came up to me, sniffing at my legs, and I bent down and stroked his ears. "Well, Micky," I said, "you surely remember me? Poor old Micky, good old Micky." "Micky has got very fat," said my mother. "Yes," I said. "Micky is fond of his food," said Grey. There was another pause and I went on stroking the spaniel's ears." | Daphne du Maurier | ||
| 739a253 | Grey put me up for his club. I dine there most evenings. Fellows there have been extraordinarily kind. I go out often, I know many people. Sometimes I remember what Jake said about me being successful one day. I suppose it will come true. It's all very different, of course, from what I dreamed. But then dreams are apart from the business of living; they are things we shed from us gently as we grow older. | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| 91fd71a | I'm being rather a brute to you, aren't I?" he said; "this isn't your idea of a proposal. We ought to be in a conservatory, you in a white frock with a rose in your hand, and a violin playing a waltz in the distance. And I should make violent love to you behind a palm tree. You would feel then you were getting your money's worth. Poor darling, what a shame." | Daphne du Maurier | ||

| 3122c96 | You talked to me of being young," I said to Jake, "you talked this evening on the bridge of losing something I would never understand. Don't you see what all that has meant to me? I was a boy without the life of a boy. Being young means bondage to me, it means a gaping sepulcher of a house smelling of dust and decay, it means people I have never loved living apart from me in a world of their own where there's no time, it means the stifling .. | Daphne du Maurier |
