    Ellen J. Lewinberg
    “Joey was lying by the stream one afternoon after a hard day. He had been in trouble at school because he had left his homework at home. He had done the work, but his teacher didn’t believe him that he had completed it. Joey was still a bit upset with his teacher.
     
    Suddenly, he heard a very soft voice say, “Hello.”
     
    Joey sat up and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone. So, he laid back down by the stream only to hear the voice again.
     
    The voice sounded bubbly and a little like running water. Joey didn’t know where it was coming from.”
    ― Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

    Daniel Defoe

    Frederick Forsyth
    “A professional does not act out of fervour, and is therefore more calm and less likely to make elementary errors. Not being idealistic he is not likely to have second thoughts at the last minute about who else might get hurt in the explosion, or whatever method, and being a professional he has calculated the risks to the last contingency. So his chances of success on schedule are surer than anyone else, but he will not even enter into operation until he has devised a plan that will enable him not only to complete the mission, but to escape unharmed.”
    ― Frederick Forsyth, The Day of the Jackal
