    Amy L.  Bernstein
    “The crowd, most on the verge of premature middle age, were mainly drinking in intimate pairs, whispering in one another’s ears, laughing, touching. Public intimacy was the new sexy and still carried a whiff of taboo.”
    Amy L. Bernstein, The Potrero Complex

    John Bennardo
    “I once bought my producer a case of Mountain Dew, his favorite soda, as a thank you for all he'd done for me. He was really surprised - his favorite drink is actually 7UP. But he complimented me for getting the color of the can right.”
    John Bennardo, Just a Typo: The Cancellation of Celebrity Mo Riverlake

    Claudia   Clark
    “Obama’s next words captured the attention of the world and the amusement of those present. As he wagged his finger at the crowd, he scolded, ‘So stop it, all of you. I know you have to find something to report on, but we have more than enough problems out there without manufacturing problems.”
    Claudia Clark, Dear Barack: The Extraordinary Partnership of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

    Rick Mystrom
    “What Foods Create Blood Glucose?
    Blood glucose is not created just by sweets—it’s created by all foods. Proteins create glucose, fats create glucose, vegetables create glucose, fruits create glucose, fruit juices create glucose, starchy foods create glucose, and of course, sweets create glucose. So the key to losing weight is to consume less of the foods (including drinks) that create large amounts of glucose and replace them with foods and beverages that create smaller amounts of glucose and go into the bloodstream more slowly.”
    Rick Mystrom, Glucose Control Eating: Lose Weight Stay Slimmer Live Healthier Live Longer

    Harvey Havel
    “It seemed as though he would never pull free, until he awoke one morning feeling kind of awkward, as though his hands had been lopped off by some Arabian sword during a routine druggie blackout, and in their place, pale and membranous hands that had been fit to his wrists by aliens that took him up while he slept and then brought him back down – all of it in an effort to help him move up to where he belonged in society.”
    Harvey Havel, The Odd and The Strange: A Collection of Very Short Fiction

    “Joy is not in things, it is in us.”
    Benjamin Franklin

    Lawrence Hill
    “We, the survivors of the crossing, clung to the beast that had stolen us away. Not a soul among us had wanted to baord that ship, but once out on open waters, we held on for dear life. The ship became an extension of our own rotting bodies. Those who were cut from the heaving animal sank quick to their deaths, and we who remained attached wilted more slow as poison festered in our bellies and bowels. We stayed with the beast until new lands met our feet, and we stumbled down the long plants just before the poison became fatal. Perhaps here in this new land, we would keep living.”
    Lawrence Hill, Someone Knows My Name

    “I mean Jesus never asked a man to do a damn thing that Jesus didn’t do.”
    Walter M. Miller Jr., A Canticle for Leibowitz

    “My advice to you is this. Do not attempt to stand alone. ...The most fatal thing a man can do is try to stand alone.”
    Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

    Arthur Miller
    “I look for John Proctor that took me from my sleep and put knowledge in my heart! I never knew what pretence Salem was, I never knew the lying lessons I was taught by all these Christian women and their covenanted men! And now you bid me tear the light out of my eyes! I will not, I cannot! You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet!”
    Arthur Miller, The Crucible

    Author Harold Phifer
    “Unbeknown to her, that Louisiana background secretly intimidated my urgency to drop to a knee and produce a ring. Or maybe, I wanted to see her raise a chicken from the dead. Rumors had assured me, her tribe was capable of voodoo, spells, and such. Well, those were my on-going issues toward matrimony.
    But on the other hand, Deya couldn’t wait to meet the kin folks. Yes, I knew what visions of family meant to her, butsadly, I wasn’t it. Still, I had to risk her involvement as a potential rope out of hell.”
    Harold Phifer, My Bully, My Aunt, & Her Final Gift

    J. Rose Black
    “Their lips met in a slow, languid kiss. Salt from her tears mixed with her natural sweetness. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed closer. Her softness, her scent, she filled and overran his senses. He mouthed another kiss against her lips. Heat flared inside his abdomen when she opened her mouth, and kissed him back with firmer lips. 

    He sank into her embrace, the heated connection she offered. A kinetic warmth surged through him, lighting, igniting dormant pieces inside—like someone returning home . . . A soft groan, hushed breaths. Their mouths parted and found each other again. He slid his hand behind her neck as he deepened the kiss.”
    J. Rose Black, Losing My Breath

    “You can be a natural athlete with terrible work habits, and that ends up wasting your gifts.”
    Vernon Davis, Playing Ball: Life Lessons from My Journey to the Super Bowl and Beyond

    Dawn Chalker
    “Out of the bedroom window, Tara watches the silver moon in the night sky cast a faint glow on the pine trees.  Ian was right.  It’s time to move on.  Not to forget, but to forge ahead.”
    Dawn Chalker

    “Which is the greater sin? To care too much? Or too little?”
    K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

    Robert         Reid
    “The wizard broke out from his mountain grave
    As his red fire filled the cave
    The miners ran to escape their doom
    All in its path red fire would consume

    The fire would destroy Sparsholt
    Before cannons at the Alol melt
    On Tamin Plain the flax would burn
    And reveal a name… Arin

    The time of the wizard is here
    Destruction, death and fear
    Some say the world will end
    Others say a child is seeking revenge

    I am a minstrel and not a seer
    All I know is…
    The time of the wizard is here
    Destruction, death and fear
    Robert Reid – The Son”
    Robert Reid, The Son

    Michael G. Kramer
    “The Vietnamese soldier said, “Before I spoke to her, I had given her a cooked ration of rice. Instead of her being grateful for the meal, she abused me! What gives with these Kampuchean People?”

    (A Gracious Enemy & After the War Volume Two)”
    Michael G. Kramer

    Daphne du Maurier
    “Oh, God, I though, this is like two people in a play, in a moment the curtain will come down, we shall bow to the audience, and go off to our dressing-rooms.”

    Alan Weisman, The World Without Us

    Alexandre Dumas
    “A rogue does not laugh in the same way that an honest man does; a hypocrite does not shed the tears of a man of good faith. All falsehood is a mask; and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention we may always succeed in distinguishing it from the true face.”
    Alexandre Dumas, Three Musketeers

    “Women? Women are like...thunderstorms. They're beautiful to look at, and sometimes they're nice to listen to-but most of the time they're just plain inconvenient.”
