James Joyce
“What was after the universe?

Nothing. But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began?”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Charles Pellegrino
“Imagine yourself taking a stroll through Manhattan, somewhere north of 68th street, deep inside Central Park, late at night. It would be nice to meet someone friendly, but you know that the park is dangerous at night. That's when the monsters come out. There's always a strong undercurrent of drug dealings, muggings, and occasional homicides.

It is not easy to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. They dress alike, and the weapons are concealed. The only difference is intent, and you can't read minds.

Stay in the dark long enough and you may hear an occasional distance shriek or blunder across a body.

How do you survive the night? The last thing you want to do is shout, "I'm here!" The next to last thing you want to do is reply to someone who shouts, "I'm a friend!"

What you would like to do is find a policeman, or get out of the park. But you don't want to make noise or move towards a light where you might be spotted, and it is difficult to find either a policeman or your way out without making yourself known. Your safest option is to hunker down and wait for daylight, then safely walk out.

There are, of course, a few obvious differences between Central Park and the universe.

There is no policeman.

There is no way out.

And the night never ends.”
Charles Pellegrino, The Killing Star

“What are you doing?” she cried in protest.

“Playing,” he said, the single word rough, almost guttural.”

Nessa Carey
“Our brains contain one hundred billion nerve cells (neurons). Each neuron makes links with ten thousand other neurons to form an incredible three dimensional grid. This grid therefore contains a thousand trillion connections - that's 1,000,000,000,000,000 (a quadrillion). It's hard to imagine this, so let's visualise each connection as a disc that's 1mm thick. Stack up the quadrillion discs on top of each other and they will reach the sun (which is ninety-three million miles from the earth) and back, three times over.”
Nessa Carey, The Epigenetics Revolution

“The ox is slow, but the earth is patient.”

“There’s “Bloodstains” by Agent Orange. “Rise Above” by Black Flag. “Streets of San Francisco” by the Swingin’ Utters. “Gimme Danger” by Iggy and the Stooges.”

William Paul Young
“Mackenzie, I am what some would say ‘holy,
and wholly other than you.’ The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the
best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive,
which often isn’t much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it
falls pitifully short of who I really am. I’m not merely the best version of you that you can think of. I am far
more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.”
William P Young

Jake Vander-Ark
“The Age of the Stars had come to an end. Once in a billion years, a feeble supernova illuminated the vestiges of its home; brown dwarfs, neutron stars, blackholes... lifeless echoes of their former majesty.”
Jake Vander Ark, The Day I Wore Purple

“He only wants you when he can't have you. So why don't you give him what he wants.”
Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty On You

Ron C. Nieto
“Well", he drawled."You do know what they say about guitarrists. I think nimbleness beats ball grabbing and body tackling any day of the week." And then he flexed his long, slender fingers, and the implications sent my brain into overdrive.”
Ron C. Nieto, Silent Song

Robin S. Baker
“I took a lot of time to study more about yin and yang energy. Once you learn how to channel them at different times, it'll blow your mind.”
Robin S. Baker

“Perhaps the most impressive illustration of all is to suppose that you could label the molecules in a tumbler of water. ... threw it anywhere you please on the earth, and went away from the earth for a few million years while all the water on the earth, the oceans, rivers, lakes and clouds had had time to mix up perfectly. Now supposing that perfect mixing had taken place, you come back to earth and draw a similar tumbler of water from the nearest tap, how many of those marked molecules would you expect to find in it? Well, the answer is 2000. There are 2000 times more molecules in a tumbler of water than there are tumblers of water in the whole earth.”
Francis William Aston

Mandi Castle
“Did you just tease me with more Jim Sterling?" Mandi Castle; read her book; Dear Stephanie.”
Mandi Castle, Dear Stephanie

“Your mind is a movie, your eyes are the projector, so everything you see is coming from you — me, her, him, the train, everything, everyone. But not only are you watching this movie, so is everyone else. And to top it off, you’re starring in it and so is everyone else.”
L.A. Golding, Lerkus: A Journey to End All Suffering
