More quotes by Susanna Clarke
A piece of writing is like a piece of magic. You create something out of nothing.
Susanna Clarke
Well, I suppose one ought not to employ a magician and then complain that he does not behave like other people.
Susanna Clarke
But, though French, she was also very brave.
Susanna Clarke
I was told once by some country people that a magician should never tell his dreams because the telling will make them come true. But I say that is great nonsense.

Susanna Clarke
It would need someone very remarkable to recover your name, Stephen, someone of rare perspicacity, with extraordinary talents and incomparable nobility of character. Me, in fact.
Susanna Clarke
For, though the room was silent, the silence of half a hundred cats is a peculiar thing, like fifty individual silences all piled one on top of another.
Susanna Clarke
I have a scholar's love of silence and solitude. To sit and pass hour after hour in idle chatter with a roomful of strangers is to me the worst sort of torment.
Susanna Clarke
What nobility of feeling! To sacrifice your own pleasure to preserve the comfort of others! It is a thing, I confess, that would never occur to me.
Susanna Clarke
It has been remarked (by a lady infinitely cleverer than the present author) how kindly disposed the world in general feels to young people who either die or marry.
Susanna Clarke
The governess was not much liked in the village. She was too tall, too fond of books, too grave, and, a curious thing, never smiled unless there was something to smile at.
Susanna Clarke
Ha!' said the tall man drily. 'He was in high luck. Rich old uncles who die are in shockingly short supply.
Susanna Clarke
To be more precise it was the color of heartache.
Susanna Clarke
Bryon tilted his head to a very odd angle, half-closed his eyes and composed his features to suggest that he was about to expire from chronic indigestion.
Susanna Clarke
And how shall I think of you?' He considered a moment and then laughed. 'Think of me with my nose in a book!
