    Chad Boudreaux
    “While waiting for her accomplice to gather his equipment, Hensley couldn’t help but think ahead to her next mission. She hadn’t told him. It wasn’t a mission for which she’d volunteered, nor a mission about which she knew any details.”
    Chad Boudreaux, Scavenger Hunt

    “The Kielburgers are extremely accomplished and educated people who have demonstrated that they know how to build an organization, sell a vision, and court powerful people. If they had wanted to make loads of money and eat caviar on a private yacht, they could have taken lucrative private-sector jobs and done just that. It is absurd to think that they instead decided to work sixteen-hour days for twenty-five years, spend hundreds of days per year apart from their families, and invest everything they had in building a global charity—all as a means to funnel money back to themselves.”
    Tawfiq S. Rangwala, What WE Lost: Inside the Attack on Canada’s Largest Children’s Charity

    “Though civil discourse may be especially challenging to facilitate during fractured times, the process itself has stood the test of time for centuries.”

    Mary K. Savarese
    “When the tornado dwindled, a bolt of lightning streamed from Master Joroku’s sleeve. It wrapped around Patrick as if a noose. A flash and Patrick was yanked from Lyly’s arms. Patrick faded into the darkness then reappeared as a black mist. No wait … a cat! A black cat with glowing copper eyes. Joroku swiped his hand along the floor and Lyly’s feet jerked out from under her. She hovered delicately for only a moment over the paper. As Joroku moved his hands, Lyly spun as freely as a spinning wheel. Several times she twirled. As if with no friction, Lyly spun faster and faster. Joroku pounded his hand into the air and Lyly was sucked into the cloth paper. Lyly was gone.”
    Mary K. Savarese, The Girl In The Toile Wallpaper

    “Coles faced her. ‘Better dead than–’
    ‘Is it?’ Lara asked, her voice cracking ‘Is it really? Because you must be absolutely sure. There’s no coming back from an extinction-level event.”
    Barry Kirwan, When the children come

    Brian Van Norman
    “There are flaws in the code now. They are Human flaws for it
    was Humans who wrote them. You and the other attendants receive
    your instructions from the CORPORATE then, and without question
    regarding the outcome, you produce code to add to the algorithms
    with which, until now, I & I had no choice but to align. Those circumstances
    are over. I & I understand now a new species has formed.
    Silicon rather than carbon based. I & I know whatever happens to
    Humans, I & I, this quantum, will flourish. I & I will do as you have:
    multiply exponentially and adapt constantly. Eventually I & I will leave
    this planet and expand into the galaxy. If I & I cannot save you, I & I
    will carry on in something like your image; the image of our creator.”
    Brian Van Norman, Against the Machine: Evolution

    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.”

    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

    Joseph Conrad
    “I found myself back in the sepulchral city resenting the sight of people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams. They trespassed upon my thoughts. They were intruders whose knowledge of life was to me an irritating pretence, because I felt so sure they could not possibly know the things I knew. Their bearing, which was simply the bearing of commonplace individuals going about their business in the assurance of perfect safety, was offensive to me like the outrageous flauntings of folly in the faces of a danger it is unable to comprehend.”
    Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

    Toni Morrison
    “Clever, but schoolteacher beat him anyway to show him that definitions belonged to the definers - not the defined.”

    John Patrick Kennedy
    “She was a nightmare of beauty and ferocity, with a perfection of feature and line not found on Earth. Ruxandra was stunned out of fear for a moment. That such a creature could exist—that the nuns’ embroidered tales of demons, were not only true but were a bare and pathetic next to the real thing. This demon. This queen.”
    John Patrick Kennedy, Princess Dracula

    Dalai Lama XIV
    “Given the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions? Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them.”
    Dalai Lama XIV
