    A.R. Merrydew
    “Ok, first things first,’ said Amercron assertively, ‘Bab’s where are we exactly?’

    Sheridan  Brown
    “When Booker first started working for her a few years ago and was living in their home, she saw him cower with apprehension every time she snapped a new order or made him redo tasks more than once, twice, or three times. Now, she knew that he understood her ways better, her need for order, cleanliness, and strict attention to details. She felt he was beginning to realize just what this fifty-seven-year-old Yankee schoolteacher expected of her thirteen-year-old house servant and pupil. He began to appreciate the books from which she taught him after his morning chores were completed. She gave him a few to start his own library and found he stored them in old dry goods boxes in his bedroom.”

    “If I am in love, many things about the world, not just the immediate object of my love, seem lovable.

The expansiveness of love is a natural means of ascent between levels.”
    Robin Waterfield

But then he paused – was it the true story it said it was?”

    Todor Bombov
    “Like a gloomy and sinister paradox since its apparition until now, socialism suffered terrible and terrifying metamorphoses. With the name of the most human doctrine—Socialism—the most ominous and naughty crimes against humanity were done. The National Socialism of Hitler created Auschwitz and Majdanek and the People’s socialism of Stalin — Gulag and Kolima! And both of them buried more than fifty million people! That’s monstrous!”

    What did he say?
    Fuck ‘em.
    Really?
    Yeah.
    At least he answered you.
    I got the feeling that he thinks it’s my problem now.
    Makes you wonder why he didn’t burn that on one of the tablets. ‘HERE, MOSES, HERE’S THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, AND HERE’S AN EXTRA ONE THAT SAYS FUCK ‘EM.’
    He doesn’t sound like that.”
    Christopher Moore, Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal

    Ernest Cline, Ready Player One
