Quotes by M.J. Carter (?)

“For mile after mile the strangler vines choked the sal trees, one grey trunk encircling another, until the whole jungle resembled some terrible tangled knot in which it was impossible to tell murderer from victim.”
― M.J. Carter, The Strangler Vine

“For decades, chalk and alum have been added to bread, and burnt corn and peas ground up to make coffee. Vinegar is rendered sharper by the addition of sulphuric acid, arrowroot is added to milk to thicken it, mustard is eked out with flour, strychnine is added to beer for bitterness and green vitriol to encourage a foaming head. And these are but the harmless manipulations.”
― M.J. Carter, The Devil's Feast

“Wilhelm manifested many symptoms of 鈥渘arcissistic personality disorder鈥�: arrogance, grandiose self-importance, a mammoth sense of entitlement, fantasies about unlimited success and power; a belief in his own uniqueness and brilliance; a need for endless admiration and reinforcement and a hatred of criticism; proneness to envy; a tendency to regard other people as purely instrumental鈥攊n terms of what they could do for him, along with a dispiriting lack of empathy.”
― M.J. Carter, George, Nicholas and Wilhelm: Three Royal Cousins and the Road to World War I
