    M. R. Noble, Karolina Dalca, Dark Eyes

    Michael G. Kramer
    “The American generals could only think in terms of large armies and huge battles. They believed or hoped that an enemy who chose to hide in jungles and tunnels would quickly be flushed out by American fire-power and then die in open battle.”
    Michael G. Kramer, A Gracious Enemy

    Dean Mafako
    “The reality is that the lives of the smallest patients are in our hands, and their clinical condition can change in an instant. No matter how many times you are involved in situations such as this, the physical stress and anxiety as well as the emotional and psychological effects of being immersed in that environment are dramatic and lasting on the human body, mind, and central nervous system. These effects are severe, and I firmly believe that they are cumulative over your lifetime.”
    DEAN MAFAKO, M.D., Burned Out

    Steven Decker
    “But most of all, she thought of John. She pictured him in Dingle, sitting out on the veranda of his wonderful little house, gazing with his peacefully intense, ocean blue eyes out toward the sea. She wondered if he was alone, and suspected he was, and she also reflected that he was probably quite sad, just as she was at that very moment.”
    Steven Decker, Projector for Sale

    “Sure as hell doesn’t seem that Williams’ study and findings were general. This man talked from fact. I bet this is the scientist and study they want.”
    Karl Braungart, Fatal Identity

  • #7
    “There was no private ownership of land. "You could own a knife, or you could own a horse, but you couldn't own ground any more than you could own the sun or the wind. The Earth was their mother and part of the Cosmos given to all creatures by the Great Spirit.”
    John-Paul Cernak, The Odyssey of a Hippie Marijuana Grower

    Bram Stoker, Dracula

  • #9
    Wally Lamb
    “The point is this: that the stream of memory may lead you to the river of understanding. And understanding, in turn, may be a tributary to the river of forgiveness. Perhaps, Dominick, you have yet to emerge fully from the pond where you swam that morning so long ago. And perhaps, when you do, you will no longer look into the water and see the reflection of a son of a bithc.”
    Wally Lamb, I Know This Much Is True

  • #10

    “When he asked my grandmother if she would mind being poor, she said she would be happy just to have her daughter and himself: 'If you have love, even plain water is sweet.”
    Jung Chang, Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China

    Euripides, The Phoenician Women

    Sebastian Faulks
    “With no blame there's no shame. A human society can't exist without shame. Shame is like handedness or walking upright. It's a central human attribute. In fact, it's the first human quality ever recorded.'

    'Where?'

    'Genesis, Chapter Three. The covering of nakedness. The acquisition of shame was the first consequence of consciousness, of the speciating moment. Take shame from me and you are calling me pre-human.”
    Sebastian Faulks, Engleby

    “Why is it that school is still always so much like school?
    humour, school,”
    Katie Hall-May, Memories of a Lost Thesaurus

    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

    Ken Follett
    “A white American can orbit the earth, but a black American can’t enter a restroom.”
    Ken Follett, Edge of Eternity

    E.B. White
    “Anyone who writes down to children is simply wasting his time. You have to write up, not down. Children are demanding. They are the most attentive, curious, eager, observant, sensitive, quick, and generally congenial readers on earth.... Children are game for anything. I throw them hard words and they backhand them across the net.”
    E.B. White

    Robert Graves
    “Genius' was a word loosely used by expatriot Americans in Paris and Rome, between the Versailles Peace treaty and the Depression, to cover all varieties of artistic, literary and musical experimentalism. A useful and readable history of the literary Thirties is Geniuses Together by Kay Boyle-Joyce, Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Pound, Eliot and the rest. They all became famous figures but too many of them developed defects of character-ambition, meanness, boastfulness, cowardice or inhumanity-that defrauded their early genius. Experimentalism is a quality alien to genius. It implies doubt, hope, uncertainty, the need for group reassurance; whereas genius works alone, in confidence of a foreknown result. Experiments are useful as a demonstration of how not to write, paint or compose if one's interest lies in durable rather than fashionable results; but since far more self-styled artists are interested in frissons á la mode rather than in truth, it is foolish to protest. Experimentalism means variation on the theme of other people's uncertainties.”
    Robert Graves

    Diane Merrill Wigginton
    “Oh, sorry, love. I was just getting out of the shower when I heard this loud commotion in front of my door.” Jake gave her a sloppy grin. “I didn’t realize there was a dress code when coming to the aid of a beautiful neighbor. I’ll keep it in mind for the next time I come running.”
    Diane Merrill Wigginton, A Compromising Position

  • #22
    Yvonne Korshak
    “Pericles let a moment pass, then another. The Spartans needed time to set in balance the risks of accepting the offer and the joys of being rich. Not as much time as he’d expected, though.”
    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

  • #23
    Behcet Kaya
    “I think this is a good start.” Alpine started collecting his notes and placing them into his briefcase. “I’ll meet with you again tomorrow morning and we’ll start plotting strategy. This is out of your hands, so just try to relax and let me do my job.”
    Behcet Kaya, Murder on the Naval Base

  • #24
    Barbara Sontheimer
    “She is an able negotiator and a strong ally." Pickering said, as his eyes caressed her lovely face.  He noticed both her arms were wrapped tightly around Victor's, and that she looked up at him with such commitment that it made his cynical view of love soften.  Reminding him bittersweetly of how he had felt once, a very long time ago.”
    Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

    Patricia D'Arcy Laughlin
    “There’s no such thing as ‘settling down’ when you get married. Getting married is the most unsettling thing one can ever do.”

  • #26
    “It’s estimated that AI could free up to 25% of clinician time across different specialties. This increased amount of time could mean less hurried encounters and more humane interactions, including more empathy from happier doctors. This is important because empathy has been shown to improve outcomes by boosting patient adherence to the prescribed treatments, increasing motivation, and reducing anxiety and stress.”
    Ronald M. Razmi, AI Doctor: The Rise of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare - A Guide for Users, Buyers, Builders, and Investors

    Mary Norton, The Borrowers Afield

  • #29
    Cormac McCarthy
    “People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things”
    Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men
