    “I wasn’t sure Turner was still listening to me. Then again, he was the one concentrating on driving through this mess. It felt eerie. There wasn’t a single car on the road except us. No snowplows, nothing. Everything was buried under a layer of white. It was as if we’d been dropped in the middle of some alien planet.”

    Joseph A. Anderson
    “He falls further into darkness. The stinging pain of daily torture and the numbing cold hardly bother him now, and he relishes the thought that soon he might disappear entirely. Then Lylitte is there in his thoughts again, and the splitting pain brings him back into this life, and again, only one thing eases the torment: winding further out of existence.”
    ― Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b

    Malcolm Gladwell
    “We have become obsessed with what is good about small classrooms and oblivious about what also can be good about large classes. It’s a strange thing isn't it, to have an educational philosophy that thinks of the other students in the classroom with your child as competitors for the attention of the teacher and not allies in the adventure of learning.”
    ― Malcolm Gladwell, David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants

    “My biggest Buff Orpinton rooster is on the small corral fence letting the world know he is in charge, all puffed up and sassy. There is nothing more silly than a rooster taking over the world, but every day he things he can. I wonder if we are just a little part of the world, like that rooster, and that the real things go on around us while we strut in our own yards trying to take charge of things.”
