    “After a week he was moved to a different wing and into a shared six-by-eight with a grizzled old con called Alf. He had faded tattoos that stained most of the visible skin on his hands, arms and neck a dull blue, sharp eyes and a thick beard that made his mouth look like an axe wound on a bear.”

    Jody    Summers
    “The endless void of space stretched out before it. Millennia had passed
    as it roared through the plane of the Milky Way galaxy. The awesome
    ellipse of its original path was continually altered by intermittent proximity
    to myriad stars.
    It gave off minute bits of itself as it rocketed silently through the
    vacuum of space, but still, after all these millennia it was counted large
    as such things were measured, and the fact that it had never collided
    with anything else after such a tremendous interval of travel was a mute
    testimony to the vastness and comparative emptiness of the universe.
    Much as humans, on a molecular level, are comprised mostly of space
    not of matter, so the universe, for all its galaxies and solar systems, is
    comprised primarily of interconnecting emptiness.
    Dark, colossal, mindless, and mighty in its mass and velocity, it came
    on and on through space. The great alignment had set it on a new path.
    Now, one last nudge from the Red Giant in the previous solar system
    had fixed its new course, on a fateful rendezvous. Though it was oblivious
    to its own destination and nothing in the universe with awareness
    had yet detected it . . . Its path was set.”
    Jody Summers, The Mayan Legacy

    Susan  Rowland
    “George’s utterance of the nest and the trap belonged to a bigger mystery she did not yet understand. One day I will, she promised herself. She would stake her life that those last words from her son would be solved by her. They were steppingstones into… whatever the wind and the stars and the valiant trees held for her.”
    Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

    Sherman Kennon
    “From the African terrains, stirred of a mere whisk of dust, transcended into the midst of the Caribbean. Alighted upon a new land. Still, as a motionless night, graceful as an eagle in flight. Too unseen distance.”
    Sherman Kennon, Whisk Of Dust: Too Unseen Distance

    “I stood up to take some air outside. The stars were brilliant that night, and the cicadas were crying in endless song. If the sky was so perfect, why was the earth all wrong?”

    Helen Fielding
    “the nation's young men have
    been proved by surveys to be completely unmarriageable, and as a result there's a whole
    generation of single girls like me with their own incomes and homes who have lots of fun and
    don't need to wash anyone else's socks.”

    Vladimir Nabokov
    “There are three points of view from which a writer can be considered: he may be considered as a storyteller, as a teacher, and as an enchanter. A major writer combines these three — storyteller, teacher, enchanter — but it is the enchanter in him that predominates and makes him a major writer...The three facets of the great writer — magic, story, lesson — are prone to blend in one impression of unified and unique radiance, since the magic of art may be present in the very bones of the story, in the very marrow of thought...Then with a pleasure which is both sensual and intellectual we shall watch the artist build his castle of cards and watch the castle of cards become a castle of beautiful steel and glass.”
    Vladimir Nabokov
