I wrote a blog post talking about how I write down lines from books I’m reading. Here are some lines that I loved from the books that I read in November:
His own age was on the older side of completely indeterminate. — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
It seems odd, don’t you think, that the quality of food should vary inversely with the brightness of the lighting. Makes you wonder what culinary heights the kitchen staff could rise to if you confined them to perpetual darkness. — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
He seemed more like a succession of extraordinary events than a person. — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I’ve certainly never come across any irreversible mathematics involving sofas. Could be a new field. Have you spoken to any spatial geometricians? — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
Well no, not married as such, but yes, there is a specific girl that I’m not married to. — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I told you that coincidences are strange and dangerous things. — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
“Ah,” said Dirk, “it is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto nonexistent blindingly obvious.” — Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
Will I ever feel better? If you’re reading this, I guess the answer is no. — When I’m Gone
His cheeks hurt from smiling so much, or maybe his facial muscles were out of practice. — When I’m Gone
