“They'd all be buried together, and Haris imagined the seeds in the girl's pocket growing shoots that would swaddle them beneath the earth, the barley sprouting upward, an unexpected crop reaching toward the sun.”
Elliot Ackerman , Dark at the Crossing

“Politics,” he says, “can be defined as the acquisition or maintenance of power. You can do this in two ways: by either dividing people or uniting them. Uniting people is very difficult,” he explains, “but dividing them is far easier.”
Elliot Ackerman, Istanbul Letters

“The militants fought to protect us from the Americans and the Americans fought to protect us from the militants, and being so protected, life was very dangerous.”
Elliot Ackerman, Green on Blue
