“Cold eyes ... steel grey, rather small, not unpleasant in good-humour, diabolic in a passion, but worst when a little suspicious; then they watch you as though you were a young rattle-snake, to be killed when convenient.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy.

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
