    Andy Weir
    “If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “I saw the prince when I was in Os Alta,” said Ekaterina. “He’s not bad looking.”
    “Not bad looking?” said another voice. “He’s damnably handsome.”
    Luchenko scowled. “Since when—”
    “Brave in battle, smart as a whip.” Now the voice seemed to be coming from above us. Luchenko craned his neck, peering into the trees. “An excellent dancer,” said the voice. “Oh, and an even better shot.”
    “Who—” Luchenko never got to finish. A blast rang out, and a tiny black hole appeared between his eyes.
    I gasped. “Imposs—”
    “Don’t say it,” muttered Mal.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “What is she to you anyway?"

    "Here's my answer captain. She's the thing that made this all okay-the threadbare coats and the old boots and the guns that jams when you most need them to fire, the loneliness of knowing that you don't matter, that you will never matter, the fact that you're just another body, another uniform to be sent into the fold or the frost, another good boy who knows his place, who does his job, who doesn't ask questions, who will lie down and die and be forgotten. What is she? She's everything, you dumb son of a bitch.”
