    Stephenie Meyer
    “You really shouldn’t do that to people," I criticized.
    "It’s hardly fair."
    "Do what?"
    "Dazzle them like that – she’s probably hyperventilating in the kitchen right now."
    He seemed confused.
    "Oh come on," I said dubiously. "You have to know the effect you have on people."
    He tilted his head to one side, and his eyes were curious. "I dazzle people?"
    "You haven’t noticed? Do you think everybody gets their way so easily?"
    He ignored my questions. "Do I dazzle you?"
    "Frequently," I admitted.”
    Stephenie Meyer, Twilight

    John Grogan
    “Sometimes it took a dog with stinky breath and bad manners to help us see what really counts in life. Despite all his flaws, Marley had given us a gift that no amount of money could buy. He gave us the gift of total, complete love. He taught us how to give it and how to accept it. When you have love, most of the other pieces fall into place.”
    John Grogan, Marley: A Dog Like No Other

    Elizabeth Tebby Germaine
    “Jeremy, I’ll say this once,’ he (Jonathan) began, ‘I’m not going to be drawn into any silly squabble you want to invent.

    Annie Proulx
    “You stand there, braced. Cloud shadows race over the buff rock stacks as a projected film, casting a queasy, mottled ground rash. The air hisses and it is no local breeze but the great harsh sweep of wind from the turning of the earth. The wild country--indigo jags of mountain, grassy plain everlasting, tumbled stones like fallen cities, the flaring roll of sky--provokes a spiritual shudder. It is like a deep note that cannot be heard but is felt, it is like a claw in the gut...
    ...Other cultures have camped here a while and disappeared. Only earth and sky matter. Only the endlessly repeated flood of morning light. You begin to see that God does not owe us much beyond that.”
    Annie Proulx, Close Range: Wyoming Stories

    Jean Craighead George
    “Neither the Pilgrims nor the Indians new what they had begun. The Pilgrims called the celebration a Harvest Feast. The Indians thought of it as a Green Corn Dance. It was both and more than both. It was the first Thanksgiving.
    In the years that followed, President George Washington issued the first national Thanksgiving proclamation, and President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed the last Thursday in November a holiday of “thanksgiving and praise.” Today it is still a harvest festival and Green Corn Dance. Families feast with friends, give thanks and play games.
    Plymouth Rock did not fare as well. It has been cut in half, moved twice, dropped, split and trimmed to fit its present-day portico. It is a mere memento of its once magnificent self.
    Yet to Americans, Plymouth Rock is a symbol. It is larger than the mountains, wider than the prairies and stronger than all our rivers.
    It is the rock on which our nation began.”
    Jean Craighead George, The First Thanksgiving
