“How lost do you have to be to let the devil lead you home? This lost, I decide. Precisely this lost.”

— Stuart Turton, from The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

[marianononeves]

"The rich mistakenly believed their wealth was a servant, delivering them whatever they wanted. They were wrong. Wealth was their master, and it was the only voice they heeded. Friendships were sacrificed at its behest, principles trampled to protect it. No matter how much they had, it was never enough. They went mad chasing more until they sat lonely atop their hoard, despised and afraid."

Stuart Turton, The Devil and the Dark Water

“People die the way they’ve always died, quickly, impatiently or unluckily; not here, not in front of a hundred people in ball gowns and dinner jackets. What kind of mind makes theatre of murder?”

Everyone has a secret

[marianononeves]

― Peril at End House, Agatha Christie

[marianononeves]

"Mr. Archer, on the count of three, shoot Doctor Watson."

This is the BEST line because it was so weird and unnecessary to identify random CIA henchmen #2 by name

And none of the other CIA dudes ever got named in the dialogue despite being in multiple scenes and, you know, actually having lines

And so for no reason and contrary to all sensible CIA discretion we have an “Archer" instructed to shoot John in this incredibly romance-based episode

An episode where, PS, we’ve already seen background imagery of cupid pointing an arrow in John’s direction

And it’s even better because Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a poem about Cupid that was called The Blind Archer 

And the best part is, look at the verses

One whole verse is about cupid the archer shooting a veteran who is a drinker and who CANNOT BELIEVE he’s being shot, it “cannot be right, it’s ludicrous quite” for him to fall in love like this

And then another whole verse is about Cupid shooting this isolated young guy who’s planning a celibate vow, despite the fact that he shouldn’t fall in love because “He has duties to do”

And I just really, really love this throw-away line

“These butterflies caged in my chest, unravel the brief and stolen atmosphere between us; look at me now, patiently, look at me now without hesitation, slice me open with your fingers, anchor me with your weight, see if I am retaliating, see if I am giving up this force, that is outwardly flowering in my senses,”

— Chuck Akot, from Waterline and Other Poems, forma obliqua
