Quotes edit see section history

• “Why, you know my friend, Wilkie! He's just penned a work that will take London by storm. It's about a ghostly woman in white --”

  Charles Dickens

• “If a person of honorable sensibilities has your darkest secret in his keeping -- and asks nothing in return -- you might reasonably conclude he is . . . er, not a foe.”

  Pip

• “How did he know it to be half past eleven? It is a fact that all intelligent animals (except for those poor, distractible humans) have an unerring sense of time. They need no Roman numeral on an enameled clock face, no shadow on a sundial -- no slices of hours, slivers of minutes, splinters of seconds -- to inform them of a mystery carried deep within. Animals carry time in their bones.”
