While I think of it

[jadesfire]

This is the crassest of egotism, but these quotes pleased me for different ways and I wanted to put the one that isn't mine somewhere I could find it again:

"How fleeting are all human passions compared to the massive continuity of ducks."
Dorothy L Sayers Gaudy Night

I knew there was a reason I liked them :)


And from my fic, I just wrote:

"he [Jack] wondered how the hell he always ended up like this, with more questions than answers and looking down the barrel of a gun."

Which just tickled me for some reason.


Yes, yes, I know, I'm not nearly in the same league, but my own writing style has ended up so heavily influence by Sayers (and Pratchett - there's a pairing for you), so it doesn't feel that ridiculous. Egotistical, but not ridiculous ;)

Also, we mustn't forget that:

"A facility for quotation covers the absence of original thought."
