    Author Harold Phifer
    “Out of nowhere, one of the twins grabbed my cap while the other delivered a blow to my head. She slapped the taste right out of my mouth. I couldn’t even feel my tongue. I spun around to face my bullies. The twins had become triplets. I couldn’t remember ever trying to drink three glasses of anything and this wouldn’t be the day to try.”
    Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar

    Tatiana de Rosnay
    “My grandmother was fifteen the day of the roundup. She was told she was free because they were only taking small children between two and twelve with their parents. She was left behind. And they took all the others. Her little brothers, her little sister, her mother, her father, her aunt, her uncle. Her grandparents. It was the last time she ever saw them. No one came back No one at all.”
    Tatiana de Rosnay, Sarah's Key

    Marissa Meyer
    “Stars, that hand gets cold,” Kai murmured. Rolling onto his back, he took the prosthetic hand in between both of his palms, warming it as he would warm icy fingers on a winter’s day. Cinder sat up and looked down at him. His eyes were still closed. He could have fallen asleep again, but for his palms rubbing over her metal hand. His shirt was rumpled, his hair tousled against the sheets.
    “Kai?”
    He grunted in response.
    “I love you.”
    A sleepy smile curved across his mouth. “I love you too.”
    “Good.” Leaning over, she kissed him fast. “Because I’m taking the shower first.”
    Marissa Meyer, Stars Above

    “Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.”

    Vladimir Nabokov
    “The fire you rubbed left its brand on the most vulnerable, most vicious and tender point of my body. Now I have to pay for your rasping the red rash too strongly, too soon, as charred wood has to pay for burning. When I remain without your caresses, I lose all control of my nerves, nothing exists any more than the ecstasy of friction, the abiding effect of your sting, of your delicious poison.”
    Vladimir Nabokov, Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle
