"Stephen had spared no expense in making himself more unhappy, his own position as a rejected lover clearer."-Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise (Aubrey & Maturin, #3)
"Of course I do know it is the French who are so wicked; but there are all these people who keep coming and going - the Austrians, the Spaniards, the Russians. Pray, are the Russians good now? It would be very shocking - treason no doubt - to put the wrong people in my prayers."-Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise (Aubrey & Maturin, #3)
"Authority is a solvent of humanity: look at any husband, any father of a family, and note the absorption of the person by the persona, the individual by the role. Then multiply the family, and the authority, by some hundreds and see the effect upon a sea-captain, to say nothing of an absolute monarch. Surely man in general is born to be oppressed or solitary, if he is to be fully human; unless it so happens that he is immune to the poison."-Patrick O'Brian, H.M.S. Surprise (Aubrey & Maturin, #3)
