"It’s not over if you’re still here,” Chronicler said. “It’s not a tragedy if you’re still alive."

"I’d heard you were dead.”"I heard you wear a red lace corset,” I said matter-of-factly. “But I don’t believe every bit of nonsense that gets rumored about."

"Books are a poor substitute for female companionship, but they are easier to find."

"Half of seeming clever is keeping your mouth shut at the right times."
