W. Somerset Maugham

" The sense of tragedy - according to Aristotle - comes, ironically enough, not from the protagonist's weak points but from his good qualities. Do you know what I'm getting at? People are drawn deeper into tragedy not by their defects but by their virtues....[But] we accept irony through a device called metaphor. And through that we grow and become deeper human beings. "

Haruki Murakami

" The first thing they would do would be to open my mouth and extract the soggy ball of my handkerchief, and as they spread it out flat on the table beside my white remains, an orange stamp‚Äîa stamp belonging to the King‚Äîwould flutter to the floor: It was like something right out of Agatha Christie. "
