“I saw a post the other day, where someone wrote that, when they walk through a library, they touch the spines of all the books they’ve read , as a way of greeting their favorite characters . . .

Try that with one of my novels, and you’ll walk away counting your fingers!”
― Max Hawthorne

“Megalodon mad. Megalodon not happy. Megalodon have tantrum.”
― Jeff VanderMeer, Authority

“The most remarkable of these (fossils) are teeth, wonderfully polished in the heart of their rough veinstone, bright with enamel as though still in a fresh state. Some of them are most formidable, triangular, finely jagged at the edges, almost as large as one’s hand. What an insatiable abyss, a jaw armed with such a set of teeth in manifold rows, placed stepwise almost to the back of the gullet; what mouthfuls, snapped up and lacerated by those serrate shears! You are seized with a shiver merely at the imaginary reconstruction of that awful implement of destruction!

The monster thus equipped as a prince of death belonged to the order of Squalidæ. Paleontology calls him Carcharodon Megalodon . The shark of to-day, the terror of the seas, gives an approximate idea of him, in so far as the dwarf can give an idea of the giant.”
― John Carey, The Faber Book of Science
