Michael Elias, The Last Conquistador

“All the things he saw made him feel his head would burst. He tried to store them in his memory so that he would be able to accurately recount them to his own people. But as he remembered the events that led him to this place, he realized he might never see them again.”
Michael Elias, The Last Conquistador

“Once when he was slapping me back and forth, one hand holding my neck, the other whipping across my cheeks, I caught a glimpse of a picture of him on the mantel – ten years old in a Cub Scout uniform. He looked so proud; his grin was so sweet. Freckles, bright eyes, combed hair still wet. Adorable. I wanted to ask him; how did you grow up to be who you are? Who taught you to hit?”

“But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of therest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me, and I can't stand it. I been there before.”
Mark Twain, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

“Whoever has experienced the power and the unrestrained ability to humiliate another human being automatically loses his own sensations. Tyranny is a habit. It has its own organic life; it develops finally into a disease… blood and power intoxicate”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The House of the Dead

“A few observations upon the soul of Paris may explain the causes of its cadaverous physiognomy, which has but two ages—youth and decay: youth, wan and colorless; decay, painted to seem young.”
Honoré de Balzac, The Girl with the Golden Eyes
