i do not believe in god. but oh how i wish that the streetside evangelists mean what they say. instill it in me, preach at my alabaster face until i know it is true, too. i have an irrational, rational fear, and it is believing. if there is holy ground, i have yet to find it, and oh how long i have walked these lonesome lands. i think there are people in my walls, under my bed, where god should lie instead. my door always opens after it has already shut. what a pretty star, she says, and in that moment i do not believe that the curve of her shoulder or the light in his eyes is heaven. that is not a star, i say, it is a satellite.

It is only a novel... or, in short, only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language
— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
