― José Emilio Pacheco, Battles in the Desert & Other Stories
“Some people's blameless lives are to blame for a good deal.”
― Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night
“Everyone loves a witch hunt as long as it's someone else's witch being hunted.”

“And what sort of lives do these people, who pose as being moral, lead themselves? My dear fellow, you forget that we are in the native land of the hypocrite.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
