    Mark Helprin
    “Beverly had thought how strange and wonderful it would be if the earth were hurled far from its orbit, into the cold extremes of black space where the sun was a faint cool disc, not even a quarter-moon, and night was everlasting. Imagine the industry, she thought, as every tree, every piece of coal, and every scrap of wood were burned for heat and light. Though the sea would freeze, men would go out in the darkness and pierce it's glassy ice to find the stilled fish. But finally all the animals would be eaten and their hides and wool stitched and woven, all the coal would be burned, and not a tree would be left standing. Silence would rule the earth, for the wind would stop and the sea would be heavy glass. People would die quietly, buried in their furs and down.”
    Mark Helprin, Winter's Tale

    Shel Silverstein
    “من رجینالد کلارکم، از تاریکی می‌ترسم
    برای همین می‌خوام همیشه چراغ روشن باشه،
    عروسکم بغلم باشه،
    پتوم تا خرخره روم کشیده باشه،
    و در حال مکیدن یا گاز زدن انگشتم باشم.
    سه‌تا قصه می‌خوام تا بخوابم،
    دوبار دسشویی رفتن،
    دوتا دعای قبل از خواب،
    و پنج بار بغل مامان رفتن.
    من رجینالد کلارکم، از تاریکی می‌ترسم
    پس لطفا صفحه رو نبندید.”
    شل سیلور استاین

    Janet Fitch
    “I would rather live out on the desert alone, like an old prospector. All I needed was a small water source. What was the point in such loneliness among people. At least if you were by yourself, you had a good reason to be lonely.”

    “You have a peace about you. You have a wisdom. You have a way of living life that kicks my butt and pushes me around, and it beats me out of my idiocy and narrow-mindness. You, Addy, you, have shown me what life is all about”
    Heath Sommer

    Max Nowaz
    “Are you really a reporter?” asked Brown.
“You already asked me that. Come back to Levita, take the pardon.”
 “I doubt I’ll live long enough to get there,” said Brown bitterly.
“I hope you survive. You are a fighter. And we have the antidote for your habit on
Levita. I suggest you take a vacation. There’s nothing much that’s going to happen here.”
With that she left, leaving Brown more confused than ever.
He was a father, he had a son. And, the Levitians had a cure for his drug-addled body.”
    Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

    “True to course, he didn’t know the nature of the assignment; true to course, he didn’t ask. That was probably for the best. Preparation for the Iranian hostage extraction had been difficult, and its execution life-threatening, but that was child’s play compared to what was coming.”
    Chad Boudreaux

    “It is a Law of Nature with us that a male child shall have one more side than his father, so that each generation shall rise (as a rule) one step in the scale of development and nobility. Thus the son of a Square is a Pentagon; the son of a Pentagon, a Hexagon; and so on.”
    Edwin A. Abbott, Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
