    Therisa Peimer
    “Aurelia was just about to take a sip of a mimosa when Mother Guardian snatched the flute away and promptly downed the drink in one gulp. Burping unashamedly, she said, "We can't have the validity of the marriage contracts jeopardized because the bride got rat-assed on her wedding day.”
    Therisa Peimer, Taming Flame

    K.  Ritz
    “This evening I spied her in the back orchard. I decided to sacrifice one of my better old shirts and carried it out to her. The weather’s been warm of late. Buds on the apple trees are ready to burst. Usually by this time of the year, at that time of day, the back orchard is full of screaming children. Damut’s boys were the only two. They were on the terrace below her, running through the slanted sunlight, chasing each other around tree trunks. She stood above them, like a merlin watching rabbits play.”
    K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

    Yvonne Korshak
    “My Aspasia. With her, he’d discovered the sweetness in life . . . and she might like to know that. He’d tell her sometime. But he knew he’d given this lovely woman what she’d wanted most, their son’s name. He leaned over to the child. “So, you’re Little Pericles.”
    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

    Max Nowaz
    “Get up you lazy bastard. The Governor wants a word with you,” said a guard. 
He opened his eyes and smiled. There was another guard standing near the cell door in 
anticipation of any trouble. The prisoner smiled at him, too. 
Now what can the Governor want from me? He wondered. His dishevelled form seemed 
incapable of coherent thought. “It’s nice of him to remember me,” he said aloud, trying to 
concentrate.
“Surprising he’s got any time for a worthless shit like you,” said the first guard. 
“I once used to be a very important person,” the prisoner said feebly.”
    Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

  • #5
    Barbara Sontheimer
    “The minute the door was opened, she wished she had made some excuse not to see them.  Victor was sitting by the bed, and the tender expression on his face as he looked down at his wife and latest child, made something violent and jealous jump in Penelope's heart.  She could have murdered Ethan for shutting the door loudly behind them, interrupting their intimacy.”
    Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

  • #6
    Merlin Franco
    “To you, the beautiful human in you, who, like everybody else on this planet, is on an everyday struggle to love and be loved. I hope you find the love, happiness, and enlightenment you have been looking for, in you, in your backyard, in your wretched little neighborhood.”
    Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker

  • #7
    “The issue of reimbursement by payers is an important factor that should be discussed. Is it possible that if radiologists use AI to read scans, they’ll receive less reimbursement? Or to approach this from the other angle, if payers are reimbursing for the use of AI, will they pay radiologists less as a result? My discussions with insurance executives have shown that they don’t think this is likely. If the use of these technologies will improve patient outcomes and lead to fewer errors, there are benefits to them that will motivate executives to pay for them in addition to radiologists’ reading fees.”
    Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

    Ami Loper
    “The Lord delights in you, He is blessed by you, and when you feel the joy of His presence, you are tasting a bit of the joy He has in you.”
    Ami Loper, Constant Companion: Your Practical Path to Real Interaction with God

  • #9
    Daniel Quinn
    “In Ishmael I articulated a living mythology that is so integral to our culture that it’s never examined or even noticed by anyone. It’s like the sound of blood rushing through your veins—you hear it so constantly that you don’t hear it at all.”
    Daniel Quinn, Providence: The Story of a Fifty-Year Vision Quest

  • #10
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
    “I remembered the fox. One runs the risk of crying a bit if one allows oneself to be tamed.”
    Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

  • #11
    Elizabeth Gilbert
    “Teach your heart that this is destiny”
    elizabeth gilbert

  • #12
    George Eliot
    “I am not imposed upon by fine words; I can see what actions mean.”
    George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

  • #13
    Rebecca Harlem
    “Oversensitivity isn’t a problem, it’s your strength. It simply indicates you are more human than others. You should be proud of yourself.”
    Rebecca Harlem, The Pink Cadillac

  • #14
    Ellen J. Lewinberg
    “Water continued to explain about the life of the tree. “Trees can be as big below the ground as they are above it. And there are mother trees in the forests—these are the oldest trees. They have the most connections with the other trees. Trees communicate with each other and look after the young trees by sending them nutrients through their roots.”
    Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

    Max Nowaz
    “Somebody always had to pay, and he was glad it was not going to be him. Meanwhile he had managed to ruin the perfect marriage by turning Dick into a crayfish and making Rachael think that he had run off with another woman.”
    Max Nowaz, Get Rich or Get Lucky

  • #16
    “In the rose garden, the flowers are maneuvering toward the winter sunshine and the alluring sound of the koi pond’s waterfall makes you think it has a crush on you. You offer no resistance—you are done (at least temporarily) with the “regular” world.”
    Tom Hillman, Digging for God

  • #17
    “I remember Peyton [Manning] called me as soon as I got out to Denver. He started the conversation by asking me, ‘When did you get in?’ We mainly just talked to get familiar with each other.”
    Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

    Michael G. Kramer
    “King Norodom of Cambodia replied, “Lt. General Kawamura of the Japanese Imperial Army, It is my understanding that you Japanese are granting my people a partial freedom which is always subject to the approval of any laws we make by the Japanese Government in Tokyo!”
    Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two

    Shafter Bailey
    “James Ed went to his office and sat down at his small, metal desk. He smiled as he considered Penny Jones’ plan to shame him out of her life. Would he let her do that? He shook his head as he thought, No way in hell!”
    Shafter Bailey

    Allen Ginsberg, The Fall of America: Poems of These States 1965-1971

  • #21
    Anne Brontë
    “I would not send a poor girl into the world, unarmed against her foes, and ignorant of the snares that beset her path; nor would I watch and guard her, till, deprived of self-respect and self-reliance, she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself.”
    Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

    C. Toni Graham
    “Toni's Talk: When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow.”
    C.Toni Graham

    Benjamin Franklin
    “All highly competent people continually search for ways to keep learning, growing, and improving. They do that by asking WHY. After all, the person who knows HOW will always have a job, but the person who knows WHY will always be the boss.”
    Benjamin Franklin

    Malorie Blackman
    “You remind me of a boy I used to know
    Same Smile, same easy, laid-back style
    And man, could he kiss
    Blew my mind the very first time
    His lips touched mine.
    You remind me

    You remind me of a boy I used to like.
    Same eyes, strong arms, same open mind
    And man, could he dance
    Arms around me, lost in a trance
    I'd hear his heart
    You remind me

    I'm scared of you
    How did you find me?
    Turn and walk away
    'Cause you remind me

    You remind me of a boy I used to love
    Same laughter and tears, shared through the years
    And man, how he felt

    Made my bones more than melt
    He touched my soul.
    You remind me

    I'm scared of you
    How did you find me?
    Turn and walk away
    'Cause you remind me”
    Malorie Blackman, Checkmate
