I guess there is also an element of deliberate change involved. Each of my books has been, at least from my point of view, radically different from the last. ↗

I didn't know his age or how he liked his tea, I was wearing a terrible coat and I was drunk as a stoat - but this moment felt like it. The one I'd been waiting patiently for since I was a little girl.

Right now, he felt like the only person who mattered in the whole world. ↗

Each of us has interests which conflict the interests of everybody else... 'everybody else' we call 'society'. It's a powerful opponent and it always wins. Oh, here and there an individual prevails for a while and gets what he wants. Sometimes he storms the culture of a society and changes it to his own advantage. But society wins in the long run, for it has the advantage of numbers and of age. ↗

— B.F. Skinner
