    “. . . You’re wasting my time. I think a jury will love this story.” Zack rose and began to leave. Please, God, stop me before I get to the door!

    Spencer C Demetros
    “The Bible doesn’t tell us exactly why God wasn’t satisfied with the fruits and veggies Cain offered up. Maybe he kept the juiciest peaches and sweetest mangoes for himself and offered God nothing but brussels sprouts and spinach.”
    Spencer C Demetros, The Bible: Enter Here: Bringing God's Word to Life for Today's Teens

    Steve  Pemberton
    “In illuminating the pathway to safety, the lighthouse offers us a chance to move beyond the fears and uncertainty of the storm and toward the peace and calm of safe harbor. So it is with the people who most impact our lives. For while lighthouses of the sea have stood watch for millennia, the most powerful and enduring lighthouses are the human ones.”
    Steve Pemberton, The Lighthouse Effect: How Ordinary People Can Have an Extraordinary Impact in the World

    John M. Vermillion
    “Gigi’s actual name was Jolene Kraken. If her penetralia was exposed, even Gigi herself would be surprised. She was smart, aloof, indifferent to the opinions of others. Maybe she was amoral. Maybe because self-analysis wasn’t her strong suit. Neither did self-analysis interest her. Her goal as a young woman was to make serious money, enough to set her up for a life in which she could romp and stomp through the world doing exactly what she wished. And frequently what she wished was to deliver justice to people with bad intentions. She wanted to hurt people who hurt people.”
    John M. Vermillion, Awful Reckoning: A Cade Chase and Simon Pack Novel

    Randy Loubier
    “I considered myself a Christian. But looking back on it, I guess I was more of a Kluggist. I was klugging my own spirituality. It was years before I would find out how dangerous that was.”
    Randy Loubier, Slow Brewing Tea

  • #9
    Anne  Michaud
    “By the end of the four-year term, Americans hold a bifurcated view of Mrs. Trump. Many Republicans, especially women, revere her as elegant, graceful, beautiful and wronged by the press. A pastor in Missouri held up Melania as a wifely model to which other women should aspire — or risk losing their men. At the same time some southern preachers referred to then-Senator and presidential candidate Kamala Harris as Jezebel, the Bible’s most nefarious woman and archetype of female cunning. There could be no surer sign that the life stories of prominent women affect the lives of private women than when pastors hold them up as positive or negative role models.”
    Anne Michaud, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Eight Political Wives

    Leo Tolstoy
    “Remember then: there is only one time that is important-- Now! It is the most important time because it is the only time when we have any power. The most necessary man is he with whom you are, for no man knows whether he will ever have dealings with any one else: and the most important affair is, to do him good, because for that purpose alone was man sent into this life!”
    Leo Tolstoy, What Men Live by and Other Tales

    Patrick Süskind
    “Entonces de repente –éste era el sentido del ejercicio-, el odio brotaba en él con violencia de orgasmo, estallando como una tormenta contra aquellos olores que habían osado ofender su ilustre nariz. Caía sobre ellos como granizo sobre un campo de trigo, los pulverizaba como una furioso huracán y los ahogaba bajo un diluvio purificador de agua destilada. Tan justa era su cólera y tan grande su venganza.”
    Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

    Arthur Miller
    “We used to shoot a man who acted like a dog, but honor was real there, you were protecting something. But here? This is the land of the great big dogs, you don't love a man here, you eat him! That's the principle ; the only one we live by.”
    Arthur Miller, All My Sons

    Audrey Niffenegger
    “And so the twins had remained virgins. Julia and Valentina watched all of their high school and college friends disappear one by one into the adult world of sex, until they were the only people they knew who lingered in the world of the uninitiated. "What was it like?" they asked each friend. The answers were vague. Sex was a private joke: you had to be there.”
    Audrey Niffenegger, Her Fearful Symmetry

    Karl Marx
    “The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.

    [These words are also inscribed upon his grave]”
    Karl Marx, Eleven Theses on Feuerbach

  • #21
    Steven D. Levitt
    “el único que sufrió una muerte violenta fue Nicolai Ceausescu. No debería pasarse por alto que su muerte fue en gran medida precipitada por la juventud de Rumanía, gran parte de la cual, de no ser por la prohibición del aborto, nunca habría llegado a nacer.”
    Steven D. Levitt, Freakonomics

  • #23
    “He had done nothing on Christmas day, just wandered around outside in the frozen woods. Hard ground, chill winds and bare branches that looked like they'd been dipped in sugar. None of it seemed real, like walking around in a desolate dream, but one he didn't want to wake up from.”
    R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

  • #24
    Malorie Blackman

    Malorie Blackman, Knife Edge

  • #25
    Michael Crichton
    “It's hard to observe without imposing a theory to explain what we're seeing, but the trouble with theories, as Einstein said, is that they explain not only what is observed but what CAN BE observed. We start to build expectations based on our theories. And often those expectations get in the way.”
    Michael Crichton, Travels

  • #26
    David Guterson
    “I merely wish to point out that in the face of such a world you have only yourselves to rely on. You have only the decision you must make, each of you, alone. And will you contribute to the indifferent forces that ceaselessly conspire toward injustice? Or will you stand up against this endless tide and in the face of it be truly human?”
    David Guterson, Snow Falling on Cedars

    David Wroblewski
    “You ask, ‘Why am I really fighting this?’ If the answer is ‘Because I’m scared of what things will be like,’ then, most times, you’re fighting for the wrong reason...”

    Solomon Northup
    “There may be humane masters, as there certainly are inhuman ones—there may be slaves well-clothed, well-fed, and happy, as there surely are those half-clad, half-starved and miserable; nevertheless, the institution that tolerates such wrong and inhumanity as I have witnessed, is a cruel, unjust, and barbarous one. Men”

    Paula Hawkins
    “let’s be honest: women are still only really valued for two things – their looks and their role as mothers. I’m not beautiful, and I can’t have kids, so what does that make me? Worthless.”
