    Behcet Kaya
    “He would tell you to leave?”
    “Yes. He is…was a rude man, but it didn’t bother me. I was used to it. As I said, I’d gotten used to Mr. Hines. He is…was, despite his rudeness, a good boss. He never questioned me or my brother on how much we spent on the house. If there was something that needed fixing, he’d instruct my brother on what was to be done.”
    Behcet Kaya, Body In The Woods

    “2100 Hours: The lights went out inside the compound. People throughout the auditorium began to shriek. It was chaos. 
             Then they experienced what felt like a sonic boom. Pack’s vehicle had blown apart, metal fragments hurled a quarter mile away. The CEV had knocked the main gate over as if it were a fist going through papier-mache. Once the explosion had run its course, the car was in flames, which caught some of the crew still wearing the night vision devices off guard.”
    John M Vermillion, Packfire

    Deborah Leblanc
    “He'd died. Plain and simple. And it pissed him off. Left him frustrated and disappointed. Where had all , the guardian angel crap they'd fed him in catechism gone to? He'd seen no angels, seraphim, archangels or pearly gates. No one to show him the ropes now that he was dead. What the hell was he supposed to do?”
    Deborah Leblanc, Toe to Toe

    Art Rios
    “Gratitude is the foundation for all human virtues. Gratitude is the cornerstone of a person’s character. Gratitude begets exceptionalism. Again, don’t forget to show others appreciation. No matter their station in life, thank them for any service or kindness they may show you.”

    Elizabeth Bristol
    “I didn’t set out to look for God, but He didn’t trick me either. He’s not like that. So much about God is not like I thought. He’s way cooler than anyone said. And I did need Him, just not in the way others tried to package Him. This One, who’s capable of bringing us out the other side of whatever we’ve been through, is gentle, never hurried, and always present, even when He’s silent. ”
    Elizabeth Bristol, Mary Me: One Woman’s Incredible Adventure with God

    Jane Austen
    “What do you know of my heart? What do you know of anything but your own suffering. For weeks, Marianne, I've had this pressing on me without being at liberty to speak of it to a single creature. It was forced on me by the very person whose prior claims ruined all my hope. I have endured her exultations again and again whilst knowing myself to be divided from Edward forever. Believe me, Marianne, had I not been bound to silence I could have provided proof enough of a broken heart, even for you.”
    Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

    Dalton Trumbo
    “If there could be a next time and somebody said let’s fight for liberty he would say mister my life is important. I’m not a fool and when I swap my life for liberty I’ve got to know in advance what liberty is and whose idea of liberty we’re talking about and just how much of that liberty we’re going to have.”
    Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun

    “Deciding to wait, Scott sat down with a pint away from the bar at a corner table and lit a cigarette. The clientele in there on Sunday afternoon were the same as most other afternoons. From middle-aged to old men, drinking and cursing at the world like it was the last bus which had just left the stop without them.”
    R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
    “She ran down the street and round the corner and up two more streets and crossed the road. ‘Will I be safe from him?’ the girl had said. And will I be safe from Samuel? She reached her car and threw her bag on the front seat and sat holding the steering wheel. Where to go, where to run to?”
    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine, A MAN WHO SEEMED REAL: A story of love, lies, fear and kindness

    Jody    Summers
    “As a place to start, let us use a model to explain precisely
    what this ‘Great Year’ actually is. The year 2012 is the year
    that marked the end of a 26,000-year cycle, ending in a
    great galactic alignment that was calculated on the Mayan
    calendar and results in the calendar ending on the winter
    solstice (December 21st) of 2012. But what exactly is this
    galactic alignment?”
    Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy

    Edgar Allan Poe
    “I am SHADOW, and my dwelling is near to the
    Catacombs of Ptolemais, and hard by those dim plains of Helusion
    which border upon the foul Charonian canal." And then did we, the
    seven, start from our seats in horror, and stand trembling, and
    shuddering, and aghast, for the tones in the voice of the shadow were
    not the tones of any one being, but of a multitude of beings, and,
    varying in their cadences from syllable to syllable fell duskly upon
    our ears in the well-remembered and familiar accents of many thousand
    departed friends.”
    Edgar Allan Poe

    Neal Stephenson
    “An old market had stood there until I'd been about six years old, when the authorities had renamed it the Olde Market, destroyed it, and built a new market devoted to selling T-shirts and other objects with pictures of the old market. Meanwhile, the people who had operated the little stalls in the old market had gone elsewhere and set up a thing on the edge of town that was now called the New Market even though it was actually the old market.”
    Neal Stephenson, Anathem

    Nikolas Schreck
    “I don't believe there is any such definition, there is no such thing as evil, only moral judgments based on what society believes to be wrong behavior.”

    Henri Charrière
    “...pergunto a mim próprio até que ponto o silêncio absoluto
    e o completo isolamento infligidos a um jovem encerrado numa cela podem,
    antes de o levarem à loucura, dar azo a uma verdadeira vida imaginativa.
    Vida de tal modo intensa , de tal modo viva, que o indivíduo se desdobra literalmente.
    Levanta voo e vai vagabundear por onde lhe apetece. (...), os castelos no ar que o seu
    fecundo espírito inventa, que ele cria com uma imaginação tão incrivelmente fértil que, (...),
    chega a pensar que está a viver tudo quanto vai sonhando.”
    Henri Charrière, Papillon

    Robert Graves
    “On Portents

    If strange things happen where she is,
    So that men say that graves open
    And the dead walk, or that futurity
    Becomes a womb and the unborn are shed,
    Such portents are not to be wondered at,
    Being tourbillions in Time made
    By the strong pulling of her bladed mind
    Through that ever-reluctant element.”
    Robert Graves

    Dawn Chalker

    “In response to be asked about Boris Johnson becoming UK Prime Minister...

    "I'm delighted. As the UK continues to plunge ever faster into a future akin to a dystopian novel I'll never run out of material to write more books. Although now that reality is more bizarre than fiction maybe plot-lines will need to be more ambitious. Perhaps a book where Boris Johnson is really an accidental sentient snafu of Trump's scrotum lint. Kind of a sequel to the Bush-Blair story. I see musical rights being drawn up as we speak.”
    R.D. Ronald

    K.  Ritz
    “Buying loyalty can be as effective as fear when one’s rival is poorer than oneself.”
