    “Imagine your worst day, multiply it by a hundred, and pray to your God
    that you never experience what some of the people in this war zone go
    through, everyday, without any hope of it getting better. Ever. Compared
    to these people, every day, no matter how bad, is the best day ever. I
    know nothing about pain, nothing about suffering and hopefully never will.”
    Hendri Coetzee, Living the Best Day Ever

    Patrick G. Cox
    “He doesn’t look a violent type—so polite, and so patrician. You never hear him raise his voice.”
    She thought about it. “No, you don’t, do you?” It struck her that the Captain exuded an air of quiet command. His ‘orders’ were always delivered in polite terms, but very few people made the mistake of not carrying them out immediately. “I expect he doesn’t usually have to though.” She laughed. “You don’t get appointed to command a ship like the Vanguard unless you know how to get people to do what you want them to.”
    Patrick G Cox, First into the Fray

    Karen  Hinton
    “…the excitement of doing something for the first time had passed. I laid there in the back seat looking at the moon. It was unobscured by clouds except for a few wisps here and there. (Mitch) put his arms around me, and we looked at the moon together. You think we’ll have a lot of moons like this, this month? Mitch asked. “I hope so,” I said. We turned to each other and laughed. He didn’t try to fuck me after that. We just talked for a while about music, school, our brothers, and Janice, of course. And then he drove me home.”
    Karen Hinton, Penis Politics: A Memoir of Women, Men and Power

    Karl Braungart
    “The biggest problem I have is I know why he has changed. What took place last night convinced me. I believe he’s been hypnotized to conduct espionage.”
    Karl Braungart, Counter Identity

  • #5
    Max Nowaz
    “I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I am still puzzled about your motives
though. Was it revenge against Zedan for rejecting you?”
“You insult me. It seems that you think of everybody in the same lowly terms you
think of yourself. If there is anybody I should hate for Zedan rejecting me, it should be
you. He was only doing what is expected of him in our society.”
“You mean you don't hate me?” This was a new revelation to Brown. It worried him.
He was used to hate, he could deal with it, but this he could not understand, he had used
the girl ruthlessly and yet she did not hate him.”
    Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator

  • #6
    Claudia   Clark
    “Let me make two remarks. First I concentrate on the task ahead for 2016. I’m quite busy with that—thank you very much. And I’m looking with great interest in the American election campaign.’ For the second time during their press conference, the clicking sounds of the cameras was deafening.”
    Claudia Clark, Dear Barack: The Extraordinary Partnership of Barack Obama and Angela Merkel

    A.R. Merrydew
    “But sir…’
         ‘Don’t worry I said I’ll do it,’ snapped the President.
         ‘But sir there’s just one other thing.’
         The President held the club in his hands like a seasoned baseball star. He glanced over at the Phlegm-O-Matic resting in the legionnaire’s rusted hand. ‘What?’
         ‘That protocol doesn’t include you.’
         The President’s shoulders sank and the air left his lungs in a rush. The legionnaire turned and aimed the gun at him.”
    A.R. Merrydew, Our Blue Orange

  • #8
    Diane Setterfield
    “Of course I recognized it. How could I not, for I had read it goodness knows how many times. 'Jane Eyre,' I said wonderingly.
    'You recognized it? Yes, it is. I asked a man in a library. It's by Charlotte someone. She had a lot of sisters, apparently.”
    Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale

  • #9
    Alan Brennert
    “- he took her in his arms and cradled her; offering her not God's comfort but his own, merely human, consolation.”
    Alan Brennert, Moloka'i

  • #10
    Dean Koontz
    “At the core of every ordered system, whether a family or a factory, is chaos. But in the whirl of every chaos lies a strange order, waiting to be found.”
    Dean Koontz, The Darkest Evening of the Year

  • #11
    E.M. Forster
    “I am a Jane Austenite, and therefore slightly imbecile about Jane Austen. My fatuous expression, and airs of personal immunity—how ill they sit on the face, say, of a Stevensonian! But Jane Austen is so different. She is my favourite author! I read and reread, the mouth open and the mind closed. Shut up in measureless content, I greet her by the name of most kind hostess, while criticism slumbers.”
    E. M. Forster

    Astrid Lindgren
    “Nieuwe boeken ruiken zo lekker; je kunt gewoon aan de reuk merken hoe fijn het moet zijn om ze te lezen.”
    Astrid Lindgren

    Robert Kiyosaki

    Susan  Rowland
    “Jamie’s eyes gleamed. “God forgive me, I want there to be a murderer after the Falconer family so we in the College feel less to blame.”
    Susan Rowland, Murder on Family Grounds

  • #15
    Yvonne Korshak
    “My Aspasia. With her, he’d discovered the sweetness in life . . . and she might like to know that. He’d tell her sometime. But he knew he’d given this lovely woman what she’d wanted most, their son’s name. He leaned over to the child. “So, you’re Little Pericles.”
    Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

  • #16
    Carolyn M. Bowen
    “He didn't want to give the cartel any time to persuade Emiliana into accepting a more enticing offer. He had reservations about her loyalty and feared she might make a deal without Elpidio's consent.”
    Carolyn M. Bowen, Legacy of Shadows: An International Crime Thriller

  • #17
    Cricket Rohman
    “A hush, a silence accompanied this dusting of snow until an odd whistling sound broke through the numbness, coming closer, growing louder. What was that?”
    Cricket Rohman, Wanted: An Honest Man

  • #18
    Stephen Chbosky
    “I look at people holdings hands in the hallways, and I try to think how it all works. At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to ‘their song.’ In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guys’ jackets, and I think about the idea of property. And I wonder if anyone is really happy.”
    Stephen Chbosky

  • #19
    Khaled Hosseini

    Jared Diamond
    “Almost all studies of child development emphasize the role of childhood stimulation and activity in promoting mental development, and stress the irreversible mental stunting associated with reduced childhood stimulation.”
    Jared Diamond, Guns, Germs and Steel

    C. Toni Graham, Crossroads and the Himalayan Crystals

  • #24
    Author Harold Phifer
    “I knew Dad was concerned about my past associations. I was from the Trash Alley. It was my community. I hung out with thugs from the Frog Bottom, the Burns Bottoms, the Red Line, the S-Curve, the Sandfield, the Morning Side, and a bunch of other places that shall remain nameless. I knew all of the “Legends of the Hood”: Sin Man, Swap, Boo Boo, Emp-Man, Cookie Man, Shank, Polar Bear, Bae Willy, Bae Bruh, Skullhead Ned, Pimp, Crunch, and Goat Turd (just to name a few). I thought maybe Dad had summoned me as a “show and tell” for the kids in his neighborhood—the hardliner to scare those wayward suburban brats back into reality.”
    Harold Phifer, Surviving Chaos: How I Found Peace at A Beach Bar

    Shafter Bailey, James Ed Hoskins and the One-Room Schoolhouse: The Unprosecuted Crime Against Children

  • #30
    Lotchie Burton
    “There’s no point in fighting me on this. Wherever you go, one, or both of us will be with you. Period. Get used to it. Short of actually sleeping on your doorstep, I’m going to follow you everywhere. I’m going to be so close that if you turn your head for a breath I’ll be there to give you mouth-to-mouth. So, you may as well just give in and take me with you. It’ll save us both a lot of time and frustration.”
    Lotchie Burton, Gabriel's Fire
